Biomolecular interactions underpin most processes inside the cell. Hence, a precise and
quantitative understanding of molecular association and dissociation events is crucial, not …

Quality factor (Q) is an important property of micro-and nano-electromechanical (MEM/NEM)
resonators that underlie timing references, frequency sources, atomic force microscopes …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is part of a range of emerging microscopic methods for
biologists which offer the magnification range of both the light and electron microscope, but …

Many biologists have dreamt of physically touching and manipulating the biomolecules they
were investigating. With the invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM), this dream has …

The use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in biomaterials science and engineering
applications has increased rapidly over the last few years. Beyond being merely a tool for …

Single molecule experiments provide insight into the individuality of biological
macromolecules, their unique function, reaction pathways, trajectories and molecular …

We present a new dynamic force microscopy technique for imaging in liquids in the
piconewton regime. The low quality factor (Q) of the cantilever is increased up to three …

The dynamics of the microcantilever in atomic force microscopy (AFM) is represented by a
multiple-degrees-of-freedom state-space model and is discussed within the framework of …

The use of tap** mode atomic force microscopy as a sizing tool for nanoparticles is
investigated. Height of CdSe nanocrystals measured on different substrates is found to be …
