Quantifying electronic band interactions in van der Waals materials using angle-resolved reflected-electron spectroscopy Heterostructures of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride have great potential for high-mobility electronics, yet little is known about the electronic interaction between these two atomically thin materials.

First atomic observation of synthetic fuel production Synthetic fuel is cleaner than natural oil, but its production process is inefficient. Now, for the first time, physicists have directly observed the molecules produced in the chemical process. This paves the way for designing more efficient catalysts.

A new STM is officially born when it can see atoms :) - team Mike Simons and Federica Galli, Jan van Ruitenbeek Lab. Thanks go also to FMD and ELD for the support.

Influence of LCU spreading across the world. Very cool experiments with the ReactorSTM. Vapor-phase STM at ambient pressure, Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York.
