The world of nanoscale analysis has been revolutionized by the advent of electrical Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) modes. New possibilities for measuring electrical properties with remarkable precision ...

Numerous measurement modes have been advanced to characterize mechanical, magnetic, electrical and thermal properties since Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was first developed [1]. Kelvin Probe Force ...

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 ...

This news release is available in German. Jülich, 27 November 2014 - The resolution of scanning tunnelling microscopes can be improved dramatically by attaching small molecules or atoms to their tip.

New hybrid nano-microscope by KRISS allows simultaneous measurement of optical and electrical properties. Expected to accelerate nano-scale research on advanced equipment and materials such as bilayer ...

Scanning probe microscopes produce images based not on light, but on electron density and charge. Scientists are producing incredible images of tinyness heretofore visible only by means of an artist's ...

(Nanowerk News) The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed a hybrid nano-microscope capable of simultaneously measuring various nanomaterial properties. This ...
