Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

Biomedical image analysis is fundamental for biomedical discovery in cell biology, pathology, radiology, and many other biomedical domains. Holistic image analysis comprises interdependent subtasks ...

Fig. 1. Adsorbed molecular O 2 and atomic O. (A and B) Constant-height AFM images obtained after O 2 dosing at 10 K and 80 K, respectively, showing adsorbed molecular O 2 (circles) and atomic O ...

Polymer materials play an increasingly important role in a variety of industrial applications, thanks to their distinct physical and chemical properties. Among their key mechanical characteristics, ...

In this study, 3-D experimental teleoperated force feedback during contact with nanoscale surfaces is demonstrated using an atomic force microscope (AFM) on the slave side and a haptic device on the ...

Nitrogen (N)-doped graphene is a promising candidate for semiconducting devices and catalysts or sensor applications due to its controllable properties depending on the atomic structure of nitrogen ...

The effect of a pulsed electric field (PEF) on Staphylococcus epidermidis was investigated by using an atomic force microscopy (AFM) image and force measurement under liquid. The changes in the ...

We present new insights into the modeling of the microcantilever in dynamic mode atomic force microscopy and outline a novel high-bandwidth tip-sample force estimation technique for the development of ...

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 ...
