IBM’s Scanning Tunneling Microscope ... It gave scientists the ability to predict the probable location of an electron in the atom. Many will remember the s, p, d and f orbitals from high ...

The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light collected in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM .

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a subset of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), a group of techniques that image and manipulate surfaces at the nanometer to atomic scales. SPM techniques share the ...

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 ...

Hla’s team shattered the thousands-of-atom barrier using a new technique called synchrotron X-ray scanning tunneling microscopy (SX ... a field focused on using electron spins for data storage ...

This is an illustration of a buckydiamondoid molecule under a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The sharp metallic tip of the STM ends in a single atom; as it scans over a sample, electrons ...

NIST researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to move a single cobalt atom (blue sphere) in a small molecule back and forth between two positions on a crystal surface (first two images).
