(Nanowerk News) Take a photo with your phone and you might see wonderful details—leaves on a tree, strands of hair blowing in the wind. The width of that strand of hair is 100,000 nanometers wide. The ...

High-resolution AFM image of the inner and outer surfaces of a microtubule. Microtubules (MTs), a key component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, serve as scaffolds and play vital roles in ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

Vitamin C tablets’ surface roughness is key to defining their surface morphology and, therefore, their delivery rate and interaction time with external stimuli. Surface roughness can be observed via ...

High-resolution AFM images showing the inner and outer surface organization of αβ-tubulin heterodimers in the microtubule wall, acquired in aqueous solution. WPI-NanoLSI is dedicated to driving ...
