Scanning-tunnelling microscope with a superconducting tip could help uncover materials for next-generation quantum computers ...

A new scanning technique delivers exquisitely detailed images—and could revolutionize the study of human anatomy.

We have investigated the operation of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) in air at atmospheric pressure, thus permitting the imaging of samples without the need for subjecting them to a vacuum ...

I worked at a university on, you know, what they call the scanning tunnel microscope, where, you know, you create images at atomic level of surfaces so very different.

This Review is focused on the new surface structures enabled particularly by one of the new tools: high-pressure scanning tunneling microscopy. We will cover several important surfaces that have been ...

Theoretical studies on the scanning tunneling microscope and its spectroscopic version are reviewed. This research has shown that the conductance of the tunneling electrons is strongly influenced by ...

Molecular orbital (MO) is one of the most fundamental concepts for molecules, relating to all branches of chemistry, while scanning tunneling microscope (STM) has been widely recognized for its ...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods ...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods rely on adhesive or mechanical forces to hold and scan cells, which limit ...

Scanning probe microscopy articles from across Nature Portfolio Scanning probe microscopy images a sample by scanning a physical probe just above the surface. A variety of different probes and ...
