When atoms and electrons are confined to an atomically flat plane, 2D materials take on distinct properties, such as exceptional strength and conductivity, not seen in their 3D counterparts. These ...
Single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) has emerged as a powerful approach to probe the mechanics, kinetics and energetics of individual biomolecules as they undergo folding, binding and chemical ...
Polymers are crucial across multiple sectors, including food packaging, tire fabrication, adhesives, and medical‑grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope‑based infrared spectroscopy ...
The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein’s membrane-binding domain bridges the viral and host cell membrane, a critical step in triggering membrane fusion. Here, we investigate how the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ...
Atomic force microscopy has long relied on the ability to acquire nanoscale chemical information while simultaneously characterizing nanomechanical properties. This article explores a new means of ...
AzoMaterials speaks to Cassandra Phillips and Qichi Hu from Bruker about how their new Resonance-Enhanced Force Volume AFM-IR technology overcomes the limitations of conventional nanoscale ...
(Nanowerk News) Take a photo with your phone and you might see wonderful details—leaves on a tree, strands of hair blowing in the wind. The width of that strand of hair is 100,000 nanometers wide. The ...
