Nuclear pore complexes are more dynamic than previously thought, reshaping our understanding of a vital transport process in cells. An international study led by the University of Basel (Switzerland) ...

(Nanowerk News) Allowing the direct observation of biomolecules in dynamic action, high-speed AFM has opened a new avenue to dynamic structural biology. An enormous amount of successful applications ...

An AFM instrument uses a probe with an atomically sharp tip to scan over the surface of a material. There are two main scanning modes with an AFM instrument: contact or dynamic (tapping) mode. Both ...

An intrinsic limitation in AFM imaging is that only the surface topography can be acquired, and the AFM tip is too large to resolve details below the nanometer scale. To facilitate the interpretation ...
