Research: Experience of Creating the World’s Smallest Microscope to Observe Molecules and Atoms

While I was pursuing my honors, I (myself) had the experience of building the smallest microscope, that is, a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), for my graduation research. STM is an advanced device capable of capturing images at the molecular and atomic level. It has enabled scientists to conduct research at a scale that was previously unimaginable.

With the help of the STM, we are not only able to observe at the molecular and atomic scale, but also gather detailed information about their size, structure, and position. This technology is a milestone in the advancement of nanotechnology. The invention and application of the STM have laid the foundation for today’s field of nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology is now being utilized in various aspects of our everyday lives, such as in medicine, electronics, and energy. Thanks to the STM, we are now able to understand the components and behaviors at the atomic level, opening the door to new discoveries and innovations. Through the STM, it has become possible to closely observe atomic structures and their transport behaviors, which has contributed to many scientific milestones achieved today.

In this way, the STM has ushered nanotechnology and modern science into a new era, and its impact on future technologies will be extensive.
