By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

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 ...

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, ...

In this infographic, we dive into how atomic force microscopy (AFM) works, the technical features one must consider and how it can be implemented for biomechanical investigation. AFM provides ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...

Doing it yourself may not get you the most precise lab equipment in the world, but it gets you a hands-on appreciation of the techniques that just can’t be beat. Today’s example of this adage: [Stoppi ...

AFAM operates by exciting the sample with ultrasonic waves while simultaneously probing the surface with an AFM tip. The ultrasonic waves cause the sample to vibrate, and the AFM tip detects these ...

Polymer materials play an increasingly important role in a variety of industrial applications, thanks to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Among their key mechanical characteristics, ...
