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 ...

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 ...

Scientists tracked an atom's nuclear spin in real time with a tunneling microscope, finding it stable for seconds, opening paths to better magnetic control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Delft ...

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an experimental technique based on the principles of quantum tunneling of electrons between two electrodes separated by a potential barrier, typically used for ...

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 ...

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been ...
