Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory used specialized tools to study materials at the atomic scale and analyze ...

An atomic force microscope tip writes data in stable ferroelectric structures, enabling reliable multistate storage at ...

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 ...

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 further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force ...

Researchers in China have developed an electrical imaging technique using three-dimensional (3D) tomographic conductive atomic force microscopy (TC-AFM) to go beyond indirect characterization of ...

The study of biological systems varies from whole organisms, organs, and organoids, down to their building blocks of proteins and cells. At the lower end of the scale, atomic force microscope (AFM) ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has evolved into a central technique in nanotechnology, providing three-dimensional imaging and precise measurements at the atomic scale. Its ability to probe surfaces by ...

I purchased some "ceramic" (amorphous silicon dioxide) hydrophobic spray and was curious if the marketing matched the reality ...

To manage the energy transition, it will also be important to rapidly develop cheap and efficient materials that can be used to split water or CO 2 by electrocatalysis. In this process, part of the ...
