A further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force ...

Researchers from Osaka University combine high-speed atomic force microscopy with a laser light source for real-time observation of azo-polymer films Osaka, Japan – Expanding our scientific ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — The chemical industry powers modern life, from fertilizers to pharmaceuticals, but much of what happens at the atomic level during catalytic reactions has remained invisible—until now ...

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, ...

Friction is the enemy of all things mechanical, and without regular maintenance, machinery service life becomes severely reduced until, ultimately, the machines cease to function. Anyone who owns a ...

Fluidic force microscopy (FluidFM) is a cutting-edge technique that integrates atomic force microscopy (AFM) with nanofluidics, enabling simultaneous imaging and manipulation of biological samples at ...

The Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ Atomic Force Microscope offers high-resolution imaging, supports large samples, and comes with a full range of imaging modes and accessories. Cantilevers are located ...

To manage the energy transition, it will also be important to rapidly develop cheap and efficient materials that can be used to split water or CO 2 by electrocatalysis. In this process, part of the ...
