- Mesoscale atomic engineering in a crystal lattice
Researchers have achieved mesoscale atomic engineering in a crystal lattice, enabling the deterministic placement of tens of thousands of atomic defects in three-dimensional crystals. This breakthrough creates stable, programmable artificial matter for scalable quantum and nanoscale technologies. The study was published online in Nature on May 13, 2026.
