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

This article serves as a basic introduction to the design and operation of an atomic force microscope. The following sections cover the basic concepts and technologies that help understand the ...

While collecting images of the molecular structure of an antiseptic compound called 8-hydroxyquinoline, nanoscientist Xiaohui Qiu saw something that he didn’t expect. His team was using a method ...

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 ...

Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

In this interview, AZoNano talks to Eduard Weichselbaumer, Senior Executive at PrimeNano, about the work they do in the Atomic Force Microscopy Field and the advances the company is making. Please ...

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, ...

A standard single frequency AFM is comprised of a boron-doped silicon (Si) or silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) cantilever with a length of a few micrometers and a single crystal diamond tip at the bottom of ...

Topgraphy and frequency shift images of the ITP radical in constant-current mode. Courtesy : D Ebeling Ten years ago, researchers succeeded in significantly increasing the lateral resolution of low ...

To the surprise of chemists, a new technique for taking snapshots of molecules with atomic precision is turning up chemicals they shouldn't be able to see. Chemical reactions take place so rapidly - ...

Gerd Binnig and Christoph Gerber, both formerly at IBM Zurich, and Calvin Quate, emeritus engineering and physics professor at Stanford University, will share the prestigious $1 million prize for ...
