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 .

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 ...

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 ...

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).
