Scanning Tunneling Microscopy STM: are instruments for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. STM is a non-optical microscope that works by scanning an electrical probe tip over the surface of a sample ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scanning tunneling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many years ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in detecting the magnetic moments of nanoscale structures. They succeeded in making the magnetic moments visible with a resolution down to the atomic level ...

This news release is available in German. Jülich, 27 November 2014 - The resolution of scanning tunnelling microscopes can be improved dramatically by attaching small molecules or atoms to their tip.

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 ...

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 ...
