Atomic-scale manipulation studies never get old. This one, led by @benjamin-lowe.bsky.social, uses the #STM tip to drive a #Kondo seesaw in a #2D #MOF on Ag(111).

The most satisfying moment in low-temperature microscope maintenance is when the system is fully closed, leak-tight, and ready for pumping. #quantum #spm

It is always a great pleasure to be part of the non-contact atomic force microscopy conference! This year in Toyama, Japan! Program here www.nims.go.jp/group/Nanopr...

Ending a great week at the 21th International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids (www.dsl-conference.com) in Napoli. Not only enjoying talks but also some Maradona spirit...

Deligthed to be part of the PRIOSS Symposium organized by Dr D. Ebeling and Prof. A. Schirmeisen about the principles of On-Surface Synthesis. What a beautiful place! www.uni-giessen.de/de/forschung...

In @acsnano we show the synthesis and lifting experiments of frustrated atropisomers using low temperature force spectroscopy and MD simulations. Fundings: @nanolino-unibas.bsky.social @snsf-ch.bsky.social, @sniunibas.bsky.social, @unibas.ch, @erc.europa.eu pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
