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 ...

A millikelvin scanning tunneling microscope in ultra-high vacuum with adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration. Review of Scientific Instruments, 2021; 92 (6): 063701 DOI: 10.1063/5.0050532 ...

In conventional scanning tunnelling microscopy, so-called electronic states on the sample surface are used for the measurement signal (the ‘tunnel current’ that flows between the probe tip and the ...

ChemHacker has posted schematics and code for a scanning tunneling microscope. [Sacha De’Angeli] finalized the proof-of-concept design for version 0.1 and released all of the information under ...

A recent breakthrough is the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which learns how to manipulate atoms to improve a material’s properties.

We don’t usually think of a microscope as an active instrument, but researchers in Canada have used a scanning tunneling microscope to remove or replace single hydrogen atoms from the surface of ...

The resolution of scanning tunneling microscopes can be improved dramatically by attaching small molecules or atoms to their tip. The resulting images were the first to show the geometric ...
