The molecular/skeletal diagram for the molecule -- oligo-(phenylene-1,2-ethynylenes) -- is shown below it. The two molecules on the right were imaged a few seconds later, after a chemical reaction ...

Their first approach, using a scanning tunneling microscope, provided images that were too fuzzy. They decided to try the noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) technique.

The new research involves controlling the location and extent of the heating using an atomic force microscope. Heating the AFM tip to over 600°C and sliding it across the graphene oxide surface ...

Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a direct write lithographic technique that uses an atomic force microscope (AFM) ... Schematic diagram showing how dip pen nanolithography works. Dip pen ...
