Heads & Tails Imaging featured in Editors' Choice of Science Magazine



Chemically bound head groups and exposed tail groups of monolayers

October 16, 2009 - Research by Paul Weiss's group at CNSI has been featured in Editors' Choice of Science Magazine's October 16th issue. The research describes a new scanning tunneling (STM) microscopy technique which allows both the bottoms and tops of monolayers to be visualized. Because STM involves a probe tip traveling over the top of surfaces to map out structures it had previously been difficult to visualize the bottom of monolayers.

Paul Weiss is a Professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UCLA and the Director of CNSI.
