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 ...

Recent science magazine covers have taken to displaying dazzling images of the surfaces of metals and semiconductors. These come from scanning tunneling microscopes, which let scientists look at ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the ...

Indian researcher, VPS Awana, says that using Scanning Tunneling Microscopes, that samples of LK99 possibly room temperature superconducting material could have superconductivity measured. Scanning ...

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 ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...
