We use several techniques to characterize the monolayer formed in air by the electron transfer protein, azurin, self-assembled on a gold substrate in a stable way. Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy ...

In this interview, Professor Emeritus Mervyn Miles at the University of Bristol speaks about the history and technology behind Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). Can ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques are amongst the most important and versatile experimental methods in surface- and nanoscience. Although their measurement principles on rigid surfaces are ...

Considerable recent progress has been made with respect to the generation, manipulation and characterization of molecules on surfaces using scanning probe microscopy (SPM). Such microscopy involves ...

A team of researchers at Justus Liebig University Giessen has found a way to dramatically improve the images of topologically complex 3-D molecules created using atomic force microscopy (AFM). In ...

Christoph Gerber, who co-invented the atomic force microscope, tells Matthew Chalmers how the AFM came about 30 years ago and why it continues to shape research at the nanoscale Nano-vision Christoph ...

Topgraphy and frequency shift images of the ITP radical in constant-current mode. Courtesy : D Ebeling Ten years ago, researchers succeeded in significantly increasing the lateral resolution of low ...

Due to the continuous improvement of scanning probe microscopy techniques, the long thought inaccessible goal of inducing and visualizing chemical reactions at the atomic scale is now routinely ...

Although atomic resolution has been attained previously for AFM imaging of individual atoms in nanotubes and in unit cells of crystals on surfaces, this is the first time all the atom positions and ...

Researchers have used probe microscopy techniques to drive and then watch a chemical reaction proceed in both directions at a single-molecule level (Nat. Chem. 2016, DOI: 10.1038/nchem.2438). Leo ...
