Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a standard imaging technique for the structural characterization of surfaces in different fields of materials science, surface science, and biology. Carbon nanotubes ...

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 team of researchers has developed new kind of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) probes in true three-dimensional shapes they call 3DTIPs. AFM technology allows scientists to observe, measure, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

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 ...

A team of researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi's Advanced Microfluidics and Microdevices Laboratory (AMMLab) have developed new kind of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) probes in true three-dimensional shapes ...

When it comes to analyzing living cells, challenging biological samples and thick, multilayer tissue samples require purposefully designed instrumentation. BioAFMs are ideal when it comes to these ...

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 ...

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 ...
