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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Because this molecule was constructed in solution, the electrospray technique allows the researchers to get the molecules ...

The figure (left) shows the magnetic state above the surface by means of its (simplified) wave function (green wavy line), which penetrates beneath the graphene (dark grey small spheres) to the ...

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 of the ...
