Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a pivotal technique in biological research, offering unparalleled spatial resolution and force sensitivity to visualise and quantify the nanoscale ...

Through a novel combination of machine learning and atomic force microscopy, researchers in China have unveiled the molecular ...

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 ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

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 ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Polymer materials play an increasingly important role in a variety of industrial applications, thanks to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Among their key mechanical characteristics, ...
