Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has established itself as a pivotal tool for probing the mechanical properties of soft biological tissues, cells and extracellular matrices at nanometre resolution. By ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) probes have emerged as a transformative advance in atomic force microscopy, combining sub-nanometre tip radii with exceptional mechanical resilience. Their high aspect ratio ...

For smartphones and computers to become smaller and faster, technologies capable of precisely controlling electrical properties at the nanoscale—beyond what is visible to the naked eye—are essential.

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University report the 3D imaging of a suspended nanostructure. The technique used is an extension of atomic force microscopy and is a ...
