Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its structure on the atomic scale. When using this technique, however, they can ...

Chemistry live: using a scanning tunneling microscope, researchers were able for the very first time to witness in detail the activity of catalysts during an electrochemical reaction. The measurements ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Under their pulsed regime, Stolte and Lee observed the switching of the atom in real-time in the readout displayed on their ...

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 ...

The Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) was the first technique; in fact, it was invented in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer at IBM Zurich and after five years they won Nobel Prize in physics.

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 ...

The discovery in 2018 of superconductivity in two single-atom-thick layers of graphene stacked at a precise angle of 1.1 degrees (called 'magic'-angle twisted bilayer graphene) came as a big surprise ...
