Some bacteria do not defeat antibiotics by evolving resistance right away—they outlast treatment by slipping into ...
Photothermal AFM-IR technology provides spatially resolved infrared spectroscopy for detailed compositional mapping of ...
Gerd Binnig's creation of the scanning tunnelling microscope has been fundamental to nanoscience, influencing diverse ...
The longest chains of the conductive polymer poly(p-phenylene; PPP) produced to date are just under one micrometer ...
Physically magnifying objects using a key moisture-absorbing ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world. When you slip a slide under a microscope, a system of glass ...
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 ...
Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...
In a breakthrough study, scientists from Switzerland and Japan built a new kind of "super microscope" by blending two powerful imaging tools: atomic force microscopy (AFM) and fluorescence microscopy, ...
How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...
