  2. Scanning tunneling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope

    A scanning tunneling microscope ( STM) is a type of scanning probe microscope used for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. Its development in 1981 earned its inventors, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, then at IBM Zürich, the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. [1] [2] [3] STM senses the surface by using an extremely sharp conducting tip that ...

  3. Atomic manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_manipulation

    Atomic manipulation is the process of moving single atoms on a substrate using Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). The atomic manipulation is a surface science technique usually used to create artificial objects on the substrate made out of atoms and to study electronic behaviour of matter.

  4. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling...

    Scanning tunneling spectroscopy is an experimental technique which uses a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to probe the local density of electronic states (LDOS) and the band gap of surfaces and materials on surfaces at the atomic scale. [1] Generally, STS involves observation of changes in constant-current topographs with tip-sample bias ...

  5. STM32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STM32

    The STM32H7 Series is the first series of STM32 microcontrollers in 40 nm process technology and the first series of ARM Cortex-M7-based microcontrollers which is able to run up to 480 MHz, allowing a performance boost versus previous series of Cortex-M microcontrollers, reaching new performance records of 1027 DMIPS and 2400 CoreMark.

  6. Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-polarized_scanning...

    Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy ( SP-STM) is a type of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) that can provide detailed information of magnetic phenomena on the single-atom scale additional to the atomic topography gained with STM. SP-STM opened a novel approach to static and dynamic magnetic processes as precise investigations of ...

  7. STMicroelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STMicroelectronics

    Malta: In 1981, SGS-Thomson (now STMicroelectronics) built its first assembly plant in Malta. STMicroelectronics is, as of 2008, the largest private employer on the island, employing around 1,800 people. Muar, Malaysia: around 4000 employees. This site was built in 1974 by Thomson and is now an assembly plant.

  8. Software transactional memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_transactional_memory

    In computer science, software transactional memory ( STM) is a concurrency control mechanism analogous to database transactions for controlling access to shared memory in concurrent computing. It is an alternative to lock-based synchronization. STM is a strategy implemented in software, rather than as a hardware component.

  9. Information processing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing_theory

    The information processing theory simplified is comparing the human brain to a computer or basic processor. It is theorized that the brain works in a set sequence, as does a computer. The sequence goes as follows, "receives input, processes the information, and delivers an output". This theory suggests that we as humans will process information ...
