• Nano-trapped molecules are potential path to quantum devices
  

  Single atoms or molecules imprisoned by laser light in a doughnut-shaped metal cage could unlock the key to advanced storage devices, computers and high-resolution instruments. A team composed of Ali Passian of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Marouane Salhi and George Si more

• Organic nanoelectronics a step closer

  Although they could revolutionize a wide range of high-tech products such as computer displays or solar cells, organic materials do not have the same ordered chemical composition as inorganic materials, preventing scientists from using them to their full potential. But an international team of resea more

• Researchers want to accelerate the scanning probe microscope

  Since more than twenty years, scanning force microscopes are employed in research and industry. Their enormous resolution triggered many applications in nanotechnology. Their rather low image rate is however a disadvantage - changing objects and processes cannot be imaged. Physicists of Saarland Uni more

• Single Molecule Nanoelectrochemistry in Electrical Junctions

  ConspectusIt is now possible to reliably measure single molecule conductance in a wide variety of environments including organic liquids, ultrahigh vacuum, water, ionic liquids, and electrolytes. The most commonly used methods deploy scanning probe microscopes, mechanically formed break junctions, o more

• Plasmonic Imaging of Electrochemical Reactions of Single Nanoparticles

  ConspectusElectrochemical reactions are involved in many natural phenomena, and are responsible for various applications, including energy conversion and storage, material processing and protection, and chemical detection and analysis. An electrochemical reaction is accompanied by electron transfer more

• Dynamics of thermally induced assembling of Au nanoislands from thin Au layer on Ge(001)

  Dynamics of the morphology changes upon post deposition annealing of a thin film of 6 ML Au deposited on (2x1) reconstructed Ge(001) surface was studied by scanning electron and scanning probe microscopes. It has been found that annealing of the initial, continuous Au layer leads to the development more
