Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a powerful tool for interrogating the biophysical properties of cancer cells at nanometre resolution. By mechanically probing the cell surface and ...

Neurological disorders are becoming an increasingly significant societal burden, highlighting the critical need for improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), known ...

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, ...

High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is the only experimental technique to directly watch proteins in dynamic action. However, as a surface scanning technique with limited spatial resolution, ...

The world of nanoscale analysis has been revolutionized by the advent of electrical Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) modes. New possibilities for measuring electrical properties with remarkable precision ...

AFM differs significantly from traditional microscopy techniques as it does not project light or electrons on the sample's surface to create its image. Instead, AFM utilizes a sharp probe while ...

AFAM operates by exciting the sample with ultrasonic waves while simultaneously probing the surface with an AFM tip. The ultrasonic waves cause the sample to vibrate, and the AFM tip detects these ...

Christoph Gerber, who co-invented the atomic force microscope, tells Matthew Chalmers how the AFM came about 30 years ago and why it continues to shape research at the nanoscale Nano-vision Christoph ...

Fluidic force microscopy (FluidFM) is a cutting-edge technique that integrates atomic force microscopy (AFM) with nanofluidics, enabling simultaneous imaging and manipulation of biological samples at ...

Researchers at the Institute of Physics in Zagreb, Croatia, in collaboration with international partners, have showcased new methods for visualizing atomic-scale changes in advanced materials. How do ...
