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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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