Unlike almost every other kind of microscope, atomic-force microscopes (AFMs) don’t use any kind of optical beam to image ...

Novel high-resolution microscopy technology is allowing researchers to see for the first time the dynamic processes of respiration in a native membrane environment at the atomic level. The new ...

This atomic force microscope is really cool because it's different than any other microscope I've ever used. Instead of using ...

A further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force ...

Understanding the interaction between light and matter at the smallest scales (angstrom scale) is essential for advancing technology and materials science. Atomic-scale structures, such as defects in ...

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

Electron spin resonance (ESR) is a key tool for the spectroscopic characterization of chemicals. It relies on resonantly changing the spin state of electrons (spin is an intrinsic quantum property of ...

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oxford Instruments Asylum Research announced today the release of the new Vero VRS1250 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which enables video-rate imaging with line ...

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, ...

Nearly a century ago, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll provided the first demonstration of a microscope that could image specimens using electrons rather than light. The earliest images obtained via this ...

In July 1985, three physicists—Gerd Binnig of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Christoph Gerber of the University of Basel, and Calvin Quate of Stanford University—puzzled over a problem while ...

A new AI model generates realistic synthetic microscope images of atoms, providing scientists with reliable training data to accelerate materials research and atomic scale analysis. (Nanowerk ...
