MikroMasch® thanks Ernest Rutherford for his experiment.Mon Aug 30 2021
On this day in 1871 Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics, was born. Thanks to the Rutherford gold foil experiment we know that atoms have very small nuclei, where most of their mass is concentrated, surrounded by orbiting electrons.
Do we measure the atomic nuclei with atomic resolution Atomic Force Microscopy?

Happy birthday to Gerd Binnig!Tue Jul 20 2021
Quite often decades pass between an important discovery in natural sciences and its respective Nobel Prize. Not so with the discovery of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope in 1981, which earned its inventors half of the 1986 Nobel Prize. Happy birthday to Gerd Binnig, co-inventor of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope and the Atomic Force Microscope!

Quantification of electron accumulation at grain boundaries in perovskite polycrystalline films by correlative infrared-spectroscopic nanoimaging and Kelvin probe force microscopyTue May 25 2021
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites are materials of high interest for the development of solar cells. Learning more about the relationship between the electrical properties and the chemical compositions of perovskite at the nanoscale can help to understand how the interrelations of both can affect device performance and contribute to an understanding on how to best design … Continue reading
Temperature effects on the nano-friction across exposed atomic step edgesThu May 20 2021
