Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has long served as a cornerstone technique for nanoscale imaging and surface characterisation. Recent advances in noncontact AFM have increasingly harnessed the ...

Anyone who has ever taken the time to critically examine a walnut knows that a two-dimensional photograph fails in many respects to truly convey the unique features--the nicks, crannies, valleys, and ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University report in Small Methods the 3D imaging of a suspended nanostructure. The technique used is an extension of atomic force ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that "feels" the atoms ...

In order to increase our understanding of structural dynamics of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, they would need to be captured at the sub-nanometer scale and in physiologically relevant ...

When it comes to analyzing living cells, challenging biological samples and thick, multilayer tissue samples require purposefully designed instrumentation. BioAFMs are ideal when it comes to these ...

To improve our understanding of biomolecular processes happening within cells, techniques for visualizing and recording them are of key importance. High-speed atomic-force microscopy (HS-AFM) has ...

The world of nanoscale analysis has been revolutionized by the advent of electrical Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) modes. New possibilities for measuring electrical properties with remarkable precision ...

New model extracts stiffness and fluidity from AFM data in minutes, enabling fast, accurate mechanical characterization of living cells at single-cell resolution. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cells are not ...

Due to its application in a variety of fields, ranging from electronics to biomedical technologies, nanotechnology is attracting greater attention within the scientific community [1]. Progress in many ...
