The mechanism underlying screening of a Kondo lattice of magnetic moments by conduction electrons is an important unsolved problem. Figgins et al. use STM techniques to assemble nanoscale Kondo droplets that extrapolate between a single moment and the Kondo lattice, providing a platform for further study.
