Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a pivotal technique in biological research, offering unparalleled spatial resolution and force sensitivity to visualise and quantify the nanoscale ...

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 ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

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 ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a high-resolution imaging technique that generates 3D images of sample surfaces and characterizes their nanomechanical properties. AFM can be used for several ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

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, ...

Curious about where Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is making the biggest impact right now? The new AFM Industry Focus eBook brings together some of the latest stories, insights, and real-world examples ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...
