      abstract     = {Scanning probe microscopy makes it possible to image and
                      spectroscopically characterize nanoscale objects, and to
                      manipulate1,2,3 and excite4,5,6,7,8 them; even time-resolved
                      experiments are now routinely achieved9,10. This combination
                      of capabilities has enabled proof-of-principle
                      demonstrations of nanoscale devices, including logic
                      operations based on molecular cascades11, a single-atom
                      transistor12, a single-atom magnetic memory cell13 and a
                      kilobyte atomic memory14. However, a key challenge is
                      fabricating device structures that can overcome their
                      attraction to the underlying surface and thus protrude from
                      the two-dimensional flatlands of the surface. Here we
                      demonstrate the fabrication of such a structure: we use the
                      tip of a scanning probe microscope to lift a large planar
                      aromatic molecule
                      (3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic-dianhydride) into an
                      upright, standing geometry on a pedestal of two metal
                      (silver) adatoms. This atypical and surprisingly stable
                      upright orientation of the single molecule, which under all
                      known circumstances adsorbs flat on metals15,16, enables the
                      system to function as a coherent single-electron field
                      emitter. We anticipate that other metastable adsorbate
                      configurations might also be accessible, thereby opening up
                      the third dimension for the design of functional
                      nanostructures on surfaces.},
