Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have invented a miniature thermometer with big potential applications, such as
It images single atoms. It maps atomic-scale hills and valleys on metal and insulating surfaces. And it records the flow of current across atom-thin materials
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made one of the highest-performance cameras ever composed of sensors that count
We develop first-principles-based methods for prediction of atomic arrangements and properties in advanced materials and develop tools for the prediction and
All inorganic materials contain point defects in the form of impurities, interstitials, or vacancies. Common imaging techniques fail to capture these defects

When epitaxial graphene (EG) grows on hexagonal SiC(0001), chemical doping is produced by bonds at the epitaxial interface, or buffer layer. Robust quantum Hall
