A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) encompasses a diverse range of techniques that enable the interrogation of surfaces with atomic-scale precision. These methods, including atomic force microscopy (AFM), ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that is used to see and measure surface topography, conduct force measurements or manipulate a sample’s surface. It can have nearly ...

A scanning probe microscope comes in a wide variety of flavors, they all produce a set of data points containing the measurements at each location. Usually these data points form a regular 2D grid, ...

The biggest challenge with SPM is that the SPM data quality is inherently linked to the tip quality. As we all know, since its inception, SPM has become one of the go-to methods for nanoscale ...

A scanning probe microscope comes in a wide variety of flavors, they all produce a set of data points containing the measurements at each location. Usually these data points form a regular 2D grid, ...

What is Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy? Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a powerful analytical technique that combines the principles of electrochemistry and scanning probe ...

AFM differs significantly from traditional microscopy techniques as it does not project light or electrons on the sample's surface to create its image. Instead, AFM utilizes a sharp probe while ...
