Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation.

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 ...

Recognition of the crucial role that nanomechanical properties play in the structure and function of biological systems is growing steadily. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), a high-resolution surface ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...
