Fast, high-resolution, non-destructive and quantitative characterization methods are needed
to develop materials with tailored properties at the nanoscale or to understand the …

Mechanical properties play important roles at different scales in biology. At the level of a
single cell, the mechanical properties mediate mechanosensing and mechanotransduction …

Quantitative mapping of viscoelastic properties of soft matter with a nanoscale spatial
resolution is an active and relevant research topic in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and …

Solid–liquid interfaces play a fundamental role in surface electrochemistry, catalysis,
wetting, self-assembly and biomolecular functions. The interfacial energy determines many …

An expression for loss tangent measurement of a surface in amplitude modulation atomic
force microscopy is derived using only the cantilever phase and the normalized cantilever …

We pose that microscopy offers an ideal real-world experimental environment for the
development and deployment of active Bayesian and reinforcement learning methods …

We study the physical origins of phase contrast in dynamic atomic force microscopy (dAFM)
in liquids where low-stiffness microcantilever probes are often used for nanoscale imaging …

The simultaneous excitation and measurement of two eigenmodes in bimodal atomic force
microscopy (AFM) during sub-micron scale surface imaging augments the number of …

The effect of hydrodynamic loading on the eigenmode shapes, modal stiffnesses, and
optical lever sensitivities of atomic force microscope (AFM) microcantilevers is investigated …

Force spectroscopy is enhancing our understanding of single-biomolecule, single-cell, and
nanoscale mechanics. Force spectroscopy postulates the proportionality between the …
