Werner Heisenberg's famous uncertainty principle describes one of the most intriguing features of quantum physics: certain pairs of physical quantities describing a particle, such as position and ...

A research team led by Profs. Jascha Repp, Rupert Huber, Franz Giessibl, and Klaus Richter at RUN, as well as a team led by ...

Researchers from Madrid explain a phenomenon that allows the direction of light emission to be controlled at the atomic scale. The paper provides a detailed explanation of how the profile of the light ...

Definition: Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is a powerful nanoscale imaging technique capable of providing atomic-level resolution of surface structures. By utilizing the quantum mechanical ...

Electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy (EC-STM) combines the sub-nanometre spatial resolution of scanning tunnelling microscopy with the ability to control and monitor electrode potential in ...

There are numerous examples in science in which a radically different conceptual approach to solving a problem at hand has resulted in a major scientific breakthrough. Such is the case for scanning ...

This is not an artist’s rendering, nor a physics simulation. This device held together with hardware-store MDF and eyebolts and connected to a breadboard, is taking pictures of actual atomic ...
