In this interview, Professor Emeritus Mervyn Miles at the University of Bristol speaks about the history and technology behind Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). Can ...
What is scanning tunneling microscopy? STM uses a nanoscale probe to measure the topography and local electronic properties of a sample by scanning the probe over a surface. As the tip is scanned over ...
The microscope is one of science's oldest tools for examining nature, going back at least to the late 16th Century, with Galileo being its most famous pioneer – he called it the 'little eye'. For ...
The very first Nano-Electrochemical Atomic Force Microscope in Europe is now up and running at the Henry Royce Institute in Sheffield. At the cutting edge of scanning probe microscope (SPM) technology ...
Bio-AFM is a cutting-edge technique rooted in the rich history of atomic force microscopy. Here, we discuss its applications to nanoscience. Studying nanoscale biological specimens has been important ...
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 ...
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, ...
Through a novel combination of machine learning and atomic force microscopy, researchers in China have unveiled the molecular ...
