Atomic manipulation and dynamics using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) have become pivotal in advancing our understanding of matter at the most fundamental scale. By utilising the exquisite ...

A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground ...

STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscopy) is a scanning probe microscope that utilizes a circuit that adjusts the height of the tip according to current variations that are dependent upon surface deviations ...

The development of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) in high magnetic fields has opened new avenues in nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy. By utilising quantum tunnelling in precisely engineered ...

A new technical paper titled “Externally-triggerable optical pump-probe scanning tunneling microscopy with a time resolution of tens-picosecond” was published by researchers at University of Tsukuba ...

There are numerous examples in science in which a radically different conceptual approach to solving a problem at hand has resulted in a major scientific breakthrough. Such is the case for scanning ...

(Nanowerk News) Semiconductors are foundational components of modern energy, communication, and myriad other technologies. Research on tailoring the underlying nanostructure of semiconductors for ...

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 ...

Since the first transmission electron microscope was sold in 1935, microscopes that use electrons--rather than light waves--to image objects have brought into focus levels of detail that were ...

This is an illustration of a buckydiamondoid molecule under a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The sharp metallic tip of the STM ends in a single atom; as it scans over a sample, electrons tunnel ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) are amazing tools which can manipulate singular atoms, but they cannot characterize these atoms as they act only on the outer electron shell. Meanwhile X-ray ...

These are images of a single molecule of dibutyl sulfide captured by a scanning-tunneling microscope (STM) at temperatures ranging from 5.41 degrees Kelvin (K) to 16.03 K. As the temperature increases ...
