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 electron spin resonance-atomic force microscopy setup enables single-spin quantum control on nonconductive samples.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Over the past decade, multiprobe scanning tunneling microscopy has emerged as a vital tool for nanoscale electrical characterisation, enabling direct interrogation of local conductivity, electronic ...

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, researchers at Drexel University and UCLA are providing the first atom-scale look at the surface of 2D MXene materials. The findings will help to tailor the unique ...
