Belated welcome to Nathan Krause and Reece Harrison - two undergrad students working with us over the summer. In just two weeks, they've learnt how to #exfoliate graphite and #hBN to fabricate working #graphene FET-like #devices for #STM experiments!

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).

Bias-dependent #STM images capturing a structural phase transition of a molecular system on Cu(111) - flipping from close-packed to a #kagome lattice in real time. Still one of the strangest datasets we’ve ever recorded, and very much an unsolved mystery in the lab.

The moment when you accidentally 10x the proportional instead of the setpoint just as you're about to get good data after tip shaping for 3 hours 🫠

Distinguishing between magnetic states at the atomic-scale 🧪⚛️ Now in @jacs.acspublications.org, we show that SPM with NiCp2 molecules can discriminate between nearly degenerate magnetic ground states 🧲🔬🧑‍💻 @fzuavcr.bsky.social @imdeanano.bsky.social @oistedu.bsky.social 👇 doi.org/10.1021/jacs...

This 2D #MOF was a pleasure to study! Distinct #chiral phases emerged as a result of tilted molecules, giving us a great excuse to perform #nc-AFM 😏. Each chiral phase uniquely confined the Ag(111) surface state resulting in changes to the 2DEG band structure driven purely by structural symmetry.
