Recent initial experiments in magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) have detected
the magnetic force exerted by electrons and nuclei in microscopic samples. The experiments …

To introduce this special issue of the Journal of Molecular Recognition dedicated to the
applications of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in life sciences, this paper presents a short …

Abstract ULLMANN'S Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry is the benchmark reference in
chemistry and chemical and life science engineering, covering inorganic and organic …

Thermal fluctuations of the cantilever are a fundamental source of noise in atomic force
microscopy. We calculated thermal noise using the equipartition theorem and considering …

In a Scanning Tunneling Microscope [1], an electronic current flows through the tunneling
barrier be-tween an atomically sharp tip and a conductive surface. Roughly speaking, the …

The remarkable development of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) has led to their
emerging use in active matrix flat-panel displays, radio frequency identification cards, and …

This volume provides a single-source of reviews for all the important colloidal drug delivery
systems, including nanoparticles, liposomes, niosomes, microemulsions and ointments …

Understanding the forces such as adhesion, attraction, and repulsion between surfaces and
liquids is the key not only to understanding phenomena such as lubrication and indentation …

Different types of cells have been imaged with the atomic force microscope. The morphology
of the archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium in its dry state was revealed. On a leaf of …

The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin was imaged in buffer solution at room
temperature with the atomic force microscope. Three different substrates were used: mica …
