In July 1985, three physicists—Gerd Binnig of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Christoph Gerber of the University of Basel, and Calvin Quate of Stanford University—puzzled over a problem while ...

Graphene is now the most well-known 2D material. It is comprised of a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice where the thickness has been broken down to a single atom.

Graphene is the most well-known member of the 2D materials family. It consists of a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice with the thickness of a single atom. This unique ...

While collecting images of the molecular structure of an antiseptic compound called 8-hydroxyquinoline, nanoscientist Xiaohui Qiu saw something that he didn’t expect. His team was using a method ...

Factor-pooling by ribosomes caught on video using state-of-art high-speed atomic force microscopy technology. Ribosomes are the complexes of ribonucleoproteins at the heart of protein synthesis in ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

The developed high-speed three-dimensional scanning force microscopy enabled the measurement of 3D force distribution at solid-liquid interfaces at 1.6 s/3D image. With this technique, 3D hydration ...

To observe biomolecules at work they must reside in their native environments. For soluble proteins this is a physiological buffer. Membrane proteins, in addition, need to be embedded in a lipid ...

From outer space to the human brain, Tufts University’s research labs explore various fields of science to uncover new ...
