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, ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a method of topographical measurement, wherein a fine probe is raster scanned over a material, and the minute variation in probe height is interpreted by laser ...

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 ...

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 ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has evolved into an indispensable tool for nanoscale imaging and fabrication, enabling both high-resolution surface characterisation and precise nanomachining. By ...

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 ...

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 ...

Christoph Gerber, who co-invented the atomic force microscope, tells Matthew Chalmers how the AFM came about 30 years ago and why it continues to shape research at the nanoscale Nano-vision Christoph ...

Knowing interaction forces between nanostructures and their substrates is important in nanomanufacturing, such as template-directed assembly. A new mechanical membrane-based AFM (atomic force ...

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 ...

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oxford Instruments Asylum Research announced today the release of the new Vero VRS1250 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which enables video-rate imaging with line ...
