What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

Imagine a microscopic locomotive moving back and forth along a track, propelling itself without any external force. At the ...

Researchers found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria rapidly assemble their T6SS nanoweapons in response to outer membrane ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

Kanazawa University, observe the configuration of different dipeptides on graphite electrodes and the subsequent arrangement of catalytic hemin on them to get an idea of the factors affecting its ...

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 ...

Some Pseudomonas species use specialized microscopic membrane devices to fight back against competing bacteria.

Light and electron microscopy each have their distinct limitations – with light it becomes increasingly difficult to resolve ...

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel have mimicked ...

In these short segments, I would like to share some cool scans from the AFM, optical microscopes or other instruments I have ...
