Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

Kanazawa University, observe the configuration of different dipeptides on graphite electrodes and the subsequent arrangement ...

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria ...

Scientists propose to use self-assembled Ru LPH molecular coatings for next-generation hard disk drives, but there are major ...

Bacteria build nanoweapons when their cell envelope is damaged, striking back with precision. Researchers triggered this ...

Kanazawa University's Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) is now accepting proposals from industry partners for ...

Even its name is somewhat misleading, as this “electricity” is not static, but is the result of charge transfer from one ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of science, technology, and medicine news ...

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a ...

A supplement contextualizes key advances in light microscopy over 400 years, while the Tara expedition sets sail to explore oceanic ecosystems at the microscopic level. Microscopes were also in ...
