Sentences with phrase «as atomic force microscopes»

Current methods for doing this involve directly probing cells with expensive instruments, such as atomic force microscopes and optical tweezers, which make direct, invasive contact with the cells.

The terms nanobot, nanoid, nanite, nanomachine, or nanometer have also been used to describe such devices at present beneath research and improvement and even a large machine such as an atomic force microscope can be deliberated a Nanorobotics instrument when configured to perform nanomanipulation.

Not exact matches

Today's best commercial atomic force microscopes have tips made of silicon or silicon nitride that run over the surface of a sample like the stylus of a record or CD player, recording all the bumps as they go along.

The single - atom tip of the noncontact atomic force microscope «feels» changes in the strength of electronic forces as it moves across the surface at a constant height.

In the magnetic force microscope, the tip is coated with a magnetic material such as cobalt and vibrated at a greater distance above the surface, so that it is not influenced by the atomic force.

By using the probe of an atomic force microscope to trigger a local chemical reaction, Jeffrey Mativetsky, assistant professor of physics at Binghamton University, and PhD student Austin Faucett showed that electrically conductive features as small as four nanometers can be patterned into individual graphene oxide sheets.

One way to improve atomic force microscopes is to miniaturize the cantilever, as this will reduce inertia, increase sensitivity, and speed up detection.

Using scanning capacitance microscopy with a Park Systems atomic force microscope a team at NASA successfully characterized both the spatial variations in capacitance as...

State - of - the - art atomic force microscopes (AFMs) are designed to capture images of structures as small as a fraction of a nanometer — a million times smaller than the width of a human hair.

nanoManipulator: uses virtual reality (VR) goggles and a force feedback probe as an interface to a scanning probe microscope, providing researchers with a new way to interact with the atomic world.

Nanocombinatorics: The new analytical method utilizes a technique invented at Northwestern called polymer pen lithography, where basically a rubber stamp having as many as 11 million sharp pyramids is mounted on a transparent glass backing and precisely controlled by an atomic force microscope to generate desired patterns on a surface.

The research team used an atomic force microscope tip as a temperature probe to make the first nanometer - scale temperature measurements of a working graphene transistor.
