Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has established itself as a decisive tool for probing nanoscale interactions, particularly adhesion forces and capillary phenomena. A precise understanding of these ...

New model extracts stiffness and fluidity from AFM data in minutes, enabling fast, accurate mechanical characterization of living cells at single-cell resolution. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cells are not ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a high-resolution imaging technique that generates 3D images of sample surfaces and characterizes their nanomechanical properties. AFM can be used for several ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique originally developed to assess the physical and mechanical properties of materials at extremely high resolutions, but the imaging speeds aren't fast enough ...

Researchers developed and validated a label-free, non-invasive method combining AFM with deep learning for accurate profiling of human macrophage mechanophenotypes and rapid identification of their ...
