Scanning electron microscope image of a gold bridge suspended 40 nm above a silicon substrate. In the experiment, the bridge is cut in the middle, a single electrode is suspended in the resulting gap, and the substrate is bent to stretch the electrode while measuring the electron current passing through it.
