High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is the only experimental technique to directly watch proteins in dynamic action. However, as a surface scanning technique with limited spatial resolution, ...

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 ...

With the advancement of nanotechnology, understanding surface properties at the nano- and sub-nanoscale has become increasingly important. Characteristics such as topography and roughness play a ...

A collaboration team of researchers from the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM), Graduate School of Science at ...

The developed high-speed three-dimensional scanning force microscopy enabled the measurement of 3D force distribution at solid-liquid interfaces at 1.6 s/3D image. With this technique, 3D hydration ...

In integrated circuit manufacturing, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is used to control the surface roughness of wafers and other substrates—a key factor influencing the reliability of final ...
