UV LEDs now finding multiple applications in scanning-probe tips for electronics and biology, disinfection, water purification. NIST's aluminum-enhanced nanowire-based light-emitting diode. Click for ...

Several lithographic techniques are used for patterning in the nanoscale region. The technique of Scanning Probe Lithography (SPL) uses the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to produce ...

Scanning probe microscopy is used to create images of nanoscale surfaces and structures or manipulate atoms to move them in specific patterns. It involves a physical probe that scans over the surface ...

More than 30 years after achieving atomic resolution with scanning probe microscopes, scientists remain endlessly fascinated with the ability to “see” and study individual atoms and molecules. For ...

Nanowire researchers have made ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that, thanks to a special type of shell, produce five times higher light intensity than do comparable LEDs based on a simpler ...

There are several different types of scanning probe microscopes, the most prominent of which are atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). There are also many other types, ...
