What is Electrostatic Force Microscopy? Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that measures the electrostatic interactions between a conductive probe and a ...
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 ...
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 ...
Chalmers researchers have developed a simple, light-based platform to study the mysterious “invisible glue” that binds materials at the nanoscale. Gold flakes floating in salt water reveal how quantum ...
The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...
