In addition, molecular interactions control the way that cells communicate with each other, and form higher-ordered organisms. Remarkably, AFM can measure interactions between and within single ...

The NanoWizard ® 3 BioScience AFM is the only AFM system on the market ... encapsulated piezos and a variety of dedicated liquid cells for applications ranging from single molecules to living ...

BioAFM instruments are designed to measure soft, fragile, and complex samples, including single molecules, nucleic acids, ...

Owing to the limitation of AFM imaging on living mammalian cells, AFM force mode has become an essential and more popular mode than imaging in living cell studies. With AFM force mode ...

Whereas technological developments in microscopy 1,2 have facilitated the detailed characterization and visualization of large macromolecular assemblies, AFM-generated surface topology maps can ...

Scientists propose to use self-assembled Ru LPH molecular coatings for next-generation hard disk drives, but there are major obstacles.

The biggest challenge for the researchers was the size and the shape of the bacteria. “So far, we have only used the AFM to study eukaryotic cells, including human cells,” explains Lim. “But ...

EC-AFM is extensively used in the study of energy storage and conversion devices, such as batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. It allows for the investigation of electrode materials, ...

Healthy cells have different mechanical properties than pathological cells. Biomechanical measurements performed with an atomic force microscope (AFM) have shown that it is possible to distinguish ...

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel have mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, ...
