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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 -- ...

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

Chinese researchers are working to develop molecular hard drives with high capacity The drives use organometallic molecules ...

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 ...

His research focused mainly on atomic force microscopy. Jesse has received five research and development awards (Oscars for ...

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 ...
