With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

Abstract: Integrated sensors are essential for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) based systems where a large number of cantilevers are employed in parallel for high-throughput. However, common ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

(a) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nanoneedle probe used for the measurements. (b) Elasticity map of a 1 µm × 1 µm area on the nuclear surface, showing the change in elasticity ...

Abstract: As opposed to popular far-field and near-field optical microscopy techniques, Interference Scanning Optical probe Microscopy (ISOM) operates in the intermediate-field region, where the ...

Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is a technique derived from atomic force microscopy that provides maps of surface potential or work function differences across material systems, with ...

The biggest challenge with SPM is that the SPM data quality is inherently linked to the tip quality. As we all know, since its inception, SPM has become one of the go-to methods for nanoscale ...

Atom probe tomography (APT) and (scanning) transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM) are complementary techniques that provide spatially resolved chemical and structural information at the atomic ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
