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 ...

has opened up the new nanoworlds of scanning probe microscopy. STM is the first-generation atomic tool that can image, evaluate and manipulate individual atoms and consequently can create ...

It is ideal for polymer, general surface characterization and materials applications The Agilent 5100 AFM/SPM microscope delivers atomic-scale resolution as well as direct video access to the scan ...

Microscopy refers to any method used to acquire ... by developing a nanowire on a tip and incorporating it with an atomic sensor, that can then be used to map electrons within molecules.

A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be explained through calculations based on the strong nuclear force. The research also predicts that the atomic nucleus neon-30 ...

New 3D printing technology achieves 130-fold better precision, allowing nanoscale control over strength and flexibility in printed materials.

By Dwight Garner How the Movies Made Joan Didion a Great American Writer A new book by Alissa Wilkinson argues that the iconic writer’s imagination and signature style were profoundly shaped by ...

These questions are quite fundamental in cell biology, but have never been revealed at the single molecule level. To address these critical questions, we use the atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based ...
