This is not an artist’s rendering, nor a physics simulation. This device held together with hardware-store MDF and eyebolts and connected to a breadboard, is taking pictures of actual atomic ...

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 ...

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 ...

An international research team has succeeded in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals ...

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 ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology have managed to watch a single atomic nucleus flip its magnetic state in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they indirectly read the nucleus ...

(TNS) — An ultra-high vacuum scanning tunnel microscope — or UHV STM — has been donated to Miami University through an educational partnership agreement with the Materials and Manufacturing Division ...
