title: Tuning molecular orientation with STM at the solid/liquid interface.
abstract: Triptycene molecular orientation has been tuned with a STM tip at a Cu(111) surface in solution from flat, to tilt, to vertical. The tuning is completely bias dependent and reversible. The study is important in the fields of nanoscience and technology.
