(Nanowerk News) Chirality is the property that the structure is not superposable on its mirrored image. Chiral materials exhibit the characteristic feature that they respond differently to left- and ...

The study of biological systems varies from whole organisms, organs, and organoids, down to their building blocks of proteins and cells. At the lower end of the scale, atomic force microscope (AFM) ...

Bruker Nano Surfaces Divison is a leading provider of high-performance scientific instruments and solutions for molecular and materials research, as well as for industrial and applied analysis. We ...

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 ...

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...

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, ...

In a recent article published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers investigated the application of large language models (LLMs) to automate atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments, a ...
