On August 10, 1982, IBM won US patent 4,343,993 for the invention of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), the first microscope that allowed researchers to “see” at the atomic scale. The invention ...

When Nate Price first heard Miami University would soon receive an ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (UHV STM), he immediately saw the possibilities. Price, entering his second year as a ...

In the early 1980s, Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer developed the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. In 1986, they won a Noble Prize for their breakthrough ...

IMDEA Nanociencia's 'Photon STM' laboratory is one of the four tunneling microscopes that this institute, located on the campus of the Autonomous University of Madrid, has. The peculiarity of this ...

Very few of you have used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), an essential tool to study nanoscience. And you might think that it's as easy to take a picture of an atom with an STM as it is to take ...

The scanning-tunneling microscope (STM), which is used to study changes in the shape of a single molecule at the atomic scale, impacts the ability of that molecule to make these changes, researchers ...

Since the early 2010s, ultrafast probing of materials at atomic-level resolution has been enabled by terahertz scanning tunneling microscopes (THz-STM). But these devices can't detect the dissipation ...

YouTuber [MechnicalRedPanda] has recreated a DIY STM hack we covered about ten years ago, updating it to be primarily 3D-printed, using modern electronics, making it much more accessible to many folks ...

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is an electron microscope capable of taking an image of a surface at an extremely small scale up to a point of resolving individual atoms. It can be very ...
