Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials ... Dimming the lights in the room can help you see the laser’s light. Place the AFM so that the paper clip ...

There is another way to investigate the domain of the very small: an atomic force microscope. Unlike their electron spewing brothers, they don’t require high voltages or hard vacuums.

Nanobiotechnology — the characterization, design and application of biological systems at the nanometre scale — is a rapidly evolving area at the crossroads of nanoscience, biology and ...

[Andres] is working with an Atomic Force Microscope, a device that drags a small needle across a surface to produce an image with incredible resolution. The AFM can produce native .STL files ...
