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 ...

What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel have mimicked ...

AFM is revolutionizing nanobiotechnological research. Within a decade, this unconventional microscope has evolved into a multifunctional toolbox. For the first time, single cellular machineries ...

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

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

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

For the first time ever, researchers from Japan directly visualized protein translocation across membranes using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM)—an event that had been biochemically ...

Supervised feedback microscopy is a powerful tool that allows screening microscopes to deal with larger quantities of samples ...

IR, a novel method combining AFM-IR and force volume imaging for precise nanoscale chemical and mechanical analysis.

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