Which risk increases when a scanning tunneling microscope tip sharpness degrades?

💡 Explanation

Reduced sharpness lets multiple tip atoms tunnel simultaneously, creating artifacts; it is due to increased area, so reduced real resolution causes artifactual detail, rather than drift, accurate force readings, or starvation because the voltage stays constant.
