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 ...

This article was updated on the 19th August 2019. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a non-optical microscope that works by scanning an electrical probe tip over the surface of a sample at a ...

Atomically precise manufacturing will lead to a host of innovations. By building structures atom by atom, you’re able to create new, extraordinary materials. We can remove impurities and make ...

Since the early 2010s, ultrafast probing of materials at atomic-level resolution has been enabled by terahertz scanning tunneling microscopes (THz-STM). But these devices can't detect the dissipation ...

On August 10, 1982, IBM won US patent 4,343,993 for the invention of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), the first microscope that allowed researchers to “see” at the atomic scale. The invention ...

(TNS) — 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 ...

Ever since their discovery, quasicrystals have garnered much attention due to their strange structure. Today, they remain far from being well-understood. In a new study, scientists reveal, for the ...

Back gate voltage determines whether a waveguide or electron trap is produced. Using the electric field of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), scientists in the US, Europe and Japan have created ...

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is an electron microscope capable of taking an image of a surface at an extremely small scale up to a point of resolving individual atoms. It can be very ...
