Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides the ability to perform three-dimensional measurements of surface structures at nanometer-to-subangstrom resolution in ambient and liquid environments. These capabilities have led to ground-breaking life sciences advances in the investigation of DNA, proteins, and cells.1 In particular, pharmaceutical research involves

Atomic force microscopes (AFMs) are most often used for high-resolution imaging and detailed surface characterization, but soon after their invention it was recognized that they could also be used to change, interact with, and control nanoscale matter. A well-known early example of this was the IBM logo written with Xenon atoms by Don Eigler‘s

AFM has been used with great success to evaluate many of the steps in the drug fabrication process, including studies of drug interactions, gene delivery vehicles, crystal growth, and particle formation. Once a drug is formed, its dissolution properties have a direct effect on its absorption in the body. In addition to the wide range of uses in drug

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a well-established metrology technique used in semiconductor at 65nm nodes and below. Measurement precision, and accuracy are foundational to the AFM including the added benefits of not being a direct, non-destructive technique that is not affected by feature material or shape. In this application, the AFM is used in

The human tooth has two main calcified parts with quite different mechanical properties. The enamel is hard and brittle, while the dentin is tough, and can absorb and distribute stress. Enamel and dentin meet at the dentino-enamel junction (DEJ). What is the nanometer-scale anatomy of tooth dentin, enamel, and DEJ, and how does that anatomy correspond

Large, multi-component protein assemblies are involved in many DNA transactions such as recombination, replication, transcription, and repair. In order to progress in the understanding of different key steps of these mechanisms, it is imperative to analyze the structure of the DNA-protein complexes involved and the dynamic interactions that govern their
