A novel spherical probe for the nanoscale world2020-08-09Antennae are typically sensory organs in insects. They respond accordingly by sensing external stimuli. In the physical world, the atomic force microscope is a must for researchers to probe into the “force” of the object while in contact. The core component is its probe which functions as the “antenna” of an insect.However, the spherical atomic force microscopic (AFM) or colloidal AFM tip... READ MORE |
