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) ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) is a powerful nanoscale characterization technique that combines the high-resolution imaging capabilities of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the ability ...

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 ...

Fast-scanning atomic force microscopy imaging of the molecule at two different time points shows positional shifts along the ...

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

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