Molecular surgery provides the opportunity to study relatively large molecules encapsulated within a fullerene cage. Here we determine the location of an H2O molecule isolated within an adsorbed buckminsterfullerene cage, and compare this to the intr...

Alessandro Strumia recently published a survey of gender differences in publications and citations in high-energy physics (HEP). In addition to providing full access to the data, code, and methodology, Strumia (2020) systematically describes and acco...

Embedding human heuristics in machine-learning-enabled probe microscopy (2020)
Journal Article
Gordon, O. M., Junqueira, F. L. Q., & Moriarty, P. J. (2020). Embedding human heuristics in machine-learning-enabled probe microscopy. Machine Learning, 1(1), Article 015001. https://doi.org/10.1088/2632-2153/ab42ec

Scanning probe microscopists generally do not rely on complete images to assess the quality of data acquired during a scan. Instead, assessments of the state of the tip apex, which not only determines the resolution in any scanning probe technique, b...
