The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
A major advantage of atomic force microscopes (AFMs) is their versatility in integrating various operational modes that assess different material properties and functionalities. Among the most ...
Researchers have successfully developed a new time-resolved atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique, integrating AFM with a unique laser technology. This method enables the measurement of ultrafast ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...
Atomic force microscopy has the capacity to identify a range of nanoscale properties alongside topography in any environment; this is central to the power and extensive applicability of this method.
New model extracts stiffness and fluidity from AFM data in minutes, enabling fast, accurate mechanical characterization of living cells at single-cell resolution. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cells are not ...
A standard single frequency AFM is comprised of a boron-doped silicon (Si) or silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) cantilever with a length of a few micrometers and a single crystal diamond tip at the bottom of ...
Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...
Atomic force microscopy is a powerful technique that has been widely used in materials research, nano-imaging, and bioimaging. It is a topographical metrology approach that is commonly utilized in ...
