(Nanowerk Spotlight – Application Note) Most of the material properties investigated by atomic force microscopy AFM are acquired by processing the deflection signal of the cantilever as depicted in ...

Electric motors are almost everywhere; they’re in your refrigerator, blender, washing machine, the hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, electric toothbrush, toys, garage door opener and there is one even in ...

Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) and dielectric characterisation have emerged as pivotal techniques in the exploration of nanoscale phenomena, enabling researchers to probe the electrical ...

An international research team led by the University of Vienna has succeeded in developing a new method to directly measure partial charges in molecules. The results, now published in Nature, provide ...

With mass spectrometry imaging, chemists can create maps of the locations of biological molecules within tissues and cells. Unfortunately, the dominant imaging methods that exist today often require ...

Pioneered almost 300 years ago by Benjamin Franklin, the basic science of electrostatics has generated recent advances that could soon lead to color laser printers that are cheaper and up to 70 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The antibody-dependent in vitro adherence of ovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes to Protostrongylus larvae appeared to involve a number of ...

Clinging upside down to polished surfaces is simple for geckos, but scientists’ grasp of the underlying forces behind this phenomenal adherence just became murkier. Researchers report that the ...

You don’t need to touch a tick for it to find you, a new study suggests. The blood-sucking parasites may be able to catapult themselves from vegetation to their hosts thanks to static electricity.
