Overview of the main types of Scannig Probe Microscope types: Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) – using the tunneling current I between the outermost atom of a conducting probe within an atomic ...

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 tunnel ...

YouTuber [MechnicalRedPanda] has recreated a DIY STM hack we covered about ten years ago, updating it to be primarily 3D-printed, using modern electronics, making it much more accessible to many folks ...

At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...

Scanning tunneling microscopes capture images of materials with atomic precision and can be used to manipulate individual molecules or atoms. Researchers have been using the instruments for many years ...

Thirty years ago this week, scientists turned science fiction into science. By picking up one atom at a time and using a handful to draw the letters I, B, and M on a solid surface, researchers at ...
