Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation.

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

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 ...

Microtubules, a key component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, serve as scaffolds and play vital roles in cellular processes such as cell division, cell migration, intracellular transport, and ...
