Biological samples are often analyzed using atomic force microscopes (AFM), as they deliver a high resolution and are capable of operating under a range of physiological conditions. Using AFM fixed ...

An AFM instrument uses a probe with an atomically sharp tip to scan over the surface of a material. There are two main scanning modes with an AFM instrument: contact or dynamic (tapping) mode. Both ...

It’s mysterious, it’s dangerous and it’s got parents on edge from coast to coast. It’s a medical condition called acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM. The disease causes sudden, unexplained paralysis, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Most of the research efforts on developing synthesis methods for graphene has focused on flat substrates. Some groups have reported the formation of free-standing 3D ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has become a well-regarded and well-established technique across a range of industries and scientific fields. AFM is used to map the surface of a material, but the ...

Polymers are crucial across multiple sectors, including food packaging, tire fabrication, adhesives, and medical‑grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope‑based infrared spectroscopy ...

Bruker (BRKR) is back in focus after announcing accelerated work on its photothermal AFM-IR spectroscopy, including a new collaboration with semiconductor research hub imec built around the Dimension ...
