BERKELEY, CA — Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have performed the first scanning ...

A new technique that combines the chemical sensitivity of optical vibronic spectroscopy with the atomic resolution of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) has been developed by Guillaume Schull and ...

In the decade since their discovery at Drexel University, the family of two-dimensional materials called MXenes has shown a great deal of promise for applications ranging from water desalination and ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) are amazing tools which can manipulate singular atoms, but they cannot characterize these atoms as they act only on the outer electron shell. Meanwhile X-ray ...

The RHK R9 STM is capable of atomic resolution imaging and tunneling spectroscopy measurements on conductive and semiconductor surfaces under ultra-high vacuum, both at room temperature (~295K) and at ...

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) is a nonlinear spectroscopic method widely used to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics of surface systems. However, in far-field observations, ...

Receiving an award from ACS is an honor, but when that award carries the name of one’s former mentor, it’s especially meaningful. Such is the case for George W. Flynn, a professor of chemistry at ...
