Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has evolved into a central technique in nanotechnology, providing three-dimensional imaging and precise measurements at the atomic scale. Its ability to probe surfaces by ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

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, ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

Through a novel combination of machine learning and atomic force microscopy, researchers in China have unveiled the molecular ...

At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...

Overview of the main types of Scannig Probe Microscope types: Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) – using the tunneling current I between the outermost atom of a conducting probe within an atomic ...

Imagine walking into a laboratory where an AI agent is carefully adjusting a microscope, running experiments and analysing results, all without human intervention.     Researchers from the Indian ...

IIT Delhi researchers, with international collaborators, have developed AILA, an AI agent that can autonomously conduct scientific experiments. AILA operates an Atomic Force Microscope, reducing ...

Walking into a laboratory where experiments are conducted without human hands may sound like science fiction, but researchers ...
