STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) A microscope that can image down to the atomic level. An STM uses a piezoelectric tube with a tiny sharp tip at the end that is moved within nanometers of the object being sampled. As it gets close, the voltage applied to the tip causes a "tunneling" current to flow to the object. As the tip is moved and bumps into an obstruction, the current changes. In order to maintain a certain constant current, the tip is raised and lowered accordingly, and this movement pattern is magnified and displayed on screen. See AFM, microscopy and nanotechnology.How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

The debate on the rights that authors have (or indeed it is claimed inaccurately, do not have) over their published works continues to rage, and much coverage has been given to purportedly restrictive practices or policies, when in fact they do not exist for the majority of publishers," STM said in a press release. Schuler Technologies & Machinery (STM), Ueberlingen, Germany, plans to unveil a line of scrap shears, balers, pre-shredders and shredders to the North American market, according to a press release from the company STM touts a combination of direct scrap industry involvement through the Schuler family's multi-generational scrap processing operations and recycling machinery design through its alliance with recycling equipment veteran Werner Oberlander. |
