Topgraphy and frequency shift images of the ITP radical in constant-current mode. Courtesy : D Ebeling Ten years ago, researchers succeeded in significantly increasing the lateral resolution of low ...

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 ...

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, ...

Using single protein atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques we demonstrate that after repeated mechanical extension/relaxation cycles, tandem modular proteins can misfold into a structure formed by ...

To observe biomolecules at work they must reside in their native environments. For soluble proteins this is a physiological buffer. Membrane proteins, in addition, need to be embedded in a lipid ...

From outer space to the human brain, Tufts University’s research labs explore various fields of science to uncover new ...

Factor-pooling by ribosomes caught on video using state-of-art high-speed atomic force microscopy technology. Ribosomes are the complexes of ribonucleoproteins at the heart of protein synthesis in ...

Graphene is now the most well-known 2D material. It is comprised of a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice where the thickness has been broken down to a single atom.

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 ...

The developed high-speed three-dimensional scanning force microscopy enabled the measurement of 3D force distribution at solid-liquid interfaces at 1.6 s/3D image. With this technique, 3D hydration ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a type of high-resolution scanning probe microscopy that allows for imaging, manipulation, and force measurement. Atomic Force Microscopy was first developed in 1986 ...

Force microscopy is a family of scanning probe microscopy techniques that enable the visualization and manipulation of materials at the nanoscale. These techniques rely on the interaction forces ...
