Scientists tracked an atom's nuclear spin in real time with a tunneling microscope, finding it stable for seconds, opening paths to better magnetic control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Delft ...

Since more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision of smaller than one thousandth of a millimeter using a special type ...

Scientists have developed an innovative microscope that uses the ultimate sensor - a single atom - to reveal the invisible energy terrain that guides electrons inside quantum materials. (Nanowerk News ...

Yale’s acquisition of a powerful new transmission electron microscope (TEM) is expected to transform researchers’ ability to examine and manipulate atom-scale materials and devices on campus. The ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...
