What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

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 ...

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 ...

Within a decade, this unconventional microscope has evolved into a multifunctional ... Decreasing the size of cantilevers should improve the force resolution, thereby permitting smaller forces ...

Chinese researchers are working to develop molecular hard drives with high capacity The drives use organometallic molecules to boost data density and efficiency A conductive atomic force microscope ...

Foster and Takeshi Fukuma at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University in Japan have successfully ...

Conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) is a powerful nanoscale characterization technique that combines the high-resolution imaging capabilities of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the ability ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the molecular level, this concept forms the foundation of molecular motors -- ...

A new kind of microscopy that surprised the world was pioneered in Japan. Known as high-speed atomic force microscopy or "high-speed AFM," it succeeded in capturing the movement of living samples ...

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level. The movie ...
