To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nobel Prize in scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and the 30th anniversary since the first paper in atomic force microscopy (AFM), Nanotechnology ™ has been organising a focus collection with guest editors Franz Giessibl, Rodolfo Miranda and Johannes Barthes to collate some of the latest cutting - edge progress developing and exploiting
these scanning probe techniques.
They focus on the ability to provide molecular - level insights into surface photochemistry on the model photocatalyst surface of rutile TiO2 (110) to illustrate the unique knowledge that
scanning probe techniques have already provided the field of photocatalysis.
