title: "rusty-tip: automated tip conditioning for scanning probe microscopy"
abstract: >-
A Rust library and tools for automated, reproducible STM/AFM tip
conditioning on Nanonis-controlled scanning probe microscopes. It
connects to the controller over TCP through a generalized hardware-
abstraction interface, runs configurable conditioning routines, and
logs every step so that procedures can be reproduced, optimized,
shared, and compared between groups.
