Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful, multifunctional imaging platform that allows
biological samples, from single molecules to living cells, to be visualized and manipulated …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) has a unique capability of allowing the high-resolution
imaging of biological samples on substratum surfaces in physiological solutions. Recent …

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes organize genome topology in all
kingdoms of life and have been proposed to perform this function by DNA loop extrusion …

High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is now materialized. It allows direct
visualization of dynamic structural changes and dynamic processes of functioning biological …

Conventional atomic force microscopes (AFMs) take at least 30–60 s to capture an image,
while dynamic biomolecular processes occur on a millisecond timescale or less. To narrow …

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 …

Self-assembly features prominently in fields ranging from materials science to biophysical
chemistry. Assembly pathways, often passing through transient intermediates, can control …

Many applications in materials science, life science and process control would benefit from
atomic force microscopes (AFM) with higher scan speeds. To achieve this, the performance …

In tapping mode atomic force microscopy, the cantilever tip intermittently taps the sample as
the tip scans over the surface. This mode is suitable for imaging fragile samples such as …

Many cellular processes such as endosomal vesicle budding, virus budding, and cytokinesis
require extensive membrane remodeling by the endosomal sorting complex required for …
