As shown by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Dr. Michael Henderson and Dr. Igor Lyubinetsky in their invited review article, using scanning
probe microscopy techniques, in particular scanning tunneling microscopy or STM, allows scientists to understand fundamental interactions that are key to our energy future.
In the article, Henderson and Lyubinetsky highlight the growing use of scanning
probe microscopy techniques.
