The optical, electronic, and mechanical properties of graphite, few-layer, and two-
dimensional (2D) materials have prompted a considerable number of applications …

The water wettability of coal is a major factor affecting its flotation performance, and thus it is
imperative to explore the wetting mechanism. Previous studies on wettability mainly focused …

Multifrequency atomic force microscopy (AFM) is shown to be an excellent tool for imaging
crystal structures at atomic resolution in different spatial directions. However, determining …

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is an imaging technique that, in
comparison to confocal microscopy, does not require a trade-off between resolution, speed …

Wood aging is a topic of great interest due to its impact on wood performance and durability
as a construction material. Therefore, it is important to develop accurate methods to monitor …

When we speak of nanometric water films on surfaces we are speaking about a truly
ubiquitous phenomenon in nature. All surfaces exposed to ambient conditions are covered …

Graphene's (GR) wettability is a contentious subject marked by conflicting reports. Some
studies claim superhydrophobicity with up to 150° contact angles indicating limited …

Here, we discuss the effects that the dynamics of the hydration layer and other variables,
such as the tip radius, have on the availability of imaging regimes in dynamic AFM …

The theory of oscillations can be studied from a mathematical point of view in terms of
differential equations. The differential equation is written and then the solution or solutions …

Graphene is considered as one of the most promising materials for numerous applications
such as electronics, photonics, membranes, sensors, heat dissipators, lubricants and many …
