Researchers proposed an optimal system to generate SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles for examining viral assembly and entry into target host cells.

AFM has been a vital and exceptionally informative technology for investigating biomaterials and chemical processes at nanometre dimensions ever since its development in 1986. This article will go through the fundamentals of AFM and how it is used to analyze biopolymers.

The microscopic characterization of polymers is key to the understanding of the fundamental structure-function relation on a molecular level and paves the way toward the rational design of novel and improved polymers materials.

To better understand microplastic-related toxicity in both the environment and human health, accurate analytical methods such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) are crucial.

This article discusses the recent advancements in post-scanning image processing of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) for ultrahigh-resolution imaging of complex biomolecules.

Two of the main types of electron microscopy techniques are scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both methods are capable of achieving sub-angstrom spatial resolution and can be used to image even single atoms on a surface.

A new study reported the development of colorimetric sensors for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid-dependent RNA polymerase, envelope, and spike genes.

Recently, scientists from the IBM Research laboratory in Zurich, in collaboration with a multinational research team, studied organic molecules from meteorites using ultra-high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the first time.

QPlus based AFM is known as the best method to study equipment and materials at ultralow temperatures as it allows examining and navigating even the nonconductive parts of the equipment and materials.
