AFM nanoindentation has application in surface height topology mapping and 3D high-resolution imaging, notably in facilitating in situ quantification of the residual indents’ shape.

Nanomechanical mapping is essential as the mechanical properties of whole living cells are closely linked to pathological and physiological processes.

A study, published in Scientific Reports, analyzed the issue of automatic identification of membrane-bound PFTs in atomic force microscopy images.

This article focuses on atomic force microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectra, and the interrelation between the two concepts.

In a study published in Applied Physics Letters, researchers created a differential-based ultrafast amplitude detection method devoid of any intrinsic latency with the basic trigonometric theorem.

Researchers have demonstrated multi-material patterning and materials sorting through a single nozzle in ambient conditions using a DEP-empowered Pipette/QTF-AFM (DEPQA).

Using an innovative new imaging technique, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have revealed the inner workings of a family of light-sensing molecules in unprecedented detail and speed. The work could inform new strategies in the burgeoning field of optogenetics, which uses light pulses to alter the activity of individual neurons and other cells.

Nanoemulsions are colloidal dispersions containing nanometer-scaled droplets, applied across varied disciplines of science. Recently, AFM has been used to characterize the droplet interfaces of nanoemulsions.

Biological hard tissues are a rich source of design concepts for the generation of advanced materials. They represent the most important library of information on the evolution of life and its environmental conditions. Organisms produce soft and hard tissues in a bottom-up process, a construction principle that is intrinsic to biologically secreted materials. This process emerged early on in the geological record, with the onset of biological mineralization. The phylum Brachiopoda is a marine an...

AFM offers a 3D image of the sample’s surface and assists its manipulation at the nanoscale. The most important part of this instrument is its tip.
