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) ...

Quantum physics just took a leap from theory to reality! Empa researchers have, for the first time, successfully built a long ...

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 ...

BioAFM is seeing increasingly widespread use in biomedical and biological studies due to its extremely high resolution and its capacity to perform experiments with live cells in liquid and under ...

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

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

Chinese researchers are exploring the potential of organic materials to develop a new type of hard drive that could ...

When light interacts with metallic nanostructures, it instantaneously generates plasmonic hot carriers, which serve as key ...

Scientists discovered a way to block hepatitis B infection using an anticancer drug, offering hope for new treatments.

Kanazawa University, observe the configuration of different dipeptides on graphite electrodes and the subsequent arrangement of catalytic hemin on them to get an idea of the factors affecting its ...

Light and electron microscopy each have their distinct limitations – with light it becomes increasingly difficult to resolve ...
