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 ...

Understanding the interaction between light and matter at the smallest scales (angstrom scale) is essential for advancing technology and materials science. Atomic-scale structures, such as defects in ...

Neurological disorders are becoming an increasingly significant societal burden, highlighting the critical need for improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), known ...

A collaborative research group led by Hiroshi Daimon, a specially appointed research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, has developed an ...

3M (MMM) on Thursday said it installed a scanning transmission electron microscope capable of imaging materials at the atomic scale, giving researchers a new tool to study the structure and behavior ...

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 ...

Christoph Gerber, who co-invented the atomic force microscope, tells Matthew Chalmers how the AFM came about 30 years ago and why it continues to shape research at the nanoscale Nano-vision Christoph ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become an indispensable tool for unravelling the atomic-scale structure and functionality of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) surfaces. The oxide exists in polymorphic ...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory made a big leap in their research into all things small. Within the past few months, scientists there began using what they say is the world’s most ...

In July 1985, three physicists—Gerd Binnig of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Christoph Gerber of the University of Basel, and Calvin Quate of Stanford University—puzzled over a problem while ...
