Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), cancer that has spread from the colon or rectum to the liver, have a deadly reputation. Due to its pervasive spread, typical cancer treatments like chemotherapy and ...

Researchers developed IRiSTM, a technique that combines infrared light and scanning tunneling microscopy to detect vibrations from a single molecule.

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

Each molecule has its own unmistakable tone – a vibrational “fingerprint” that reflects not only its chemical structure but also the nanoscale environment around it. But the voices of individual ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

In a scanning tunneling microscope image, hundreds of glowing dots organize themselves in hexagons and wavy diagonal lines. The diagonal lines have somewhat regular spacing between each other. Credit: ...

Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that it is crucial to measure them with minimal interference. Researchers at the ...

On the centennial of modern quantum mechanics, the Nobel Committee awarded the year’s most prestigious physics prize to an experiment that demonstrated how quantum effects play out on large ...

An ultra-high vacuum scanning tunnel microscope — or UHV STM — has been donated to Miami University through an educational partnership agreement with the Materials and Manufacturing Division of the ...
