GlossaryScanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)

technique that visualizes surfaces at the atomic level

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is a powerful technique that allows scientists to visualize surfaces at the atomic level. It works by scanning a sharp metal tip very close to the surface of a conductive material, measuring the tunneling current that flows between the tip and the surface. This current is highly sensitive to the distance between the tip and the surface, enabling the creation of detailed, three-dimensional images of the atomic structure.

community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles

in Research/Science 209 upvotes 11 months ago

Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
