Light carrying photon momentum can push and pull microparticles through momentum exchange. This momentum exchange process generates optical forces, which either attracts (conventional optical tweezers ...
In boundary lubrication, organic polar compounds such as fatty acids form molecular films adsorbed on surfaces, with excellent friction-reducing effects. The Bowden–Tabor model can explain the ...
Researchers at the University of Regensburg and the Graz University of Technology have shown that hydrogen atoms at the sides of molecules lying on a surface can directly be seen. The study, published ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The realization of a three-dimensional tomic force microscopy (3D AFM) portends exciting research directions across nanoscience and nanotechnology. Demonstrations to date have ...
The lateral acceleration force in automobile known as centrifugal force or g-force is being measured by this meter. The lateral acceleration force in automobile known as centrifugal force or g-force ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique used to characterize surfaces at extremely high resolution. A sharp probe is brought into close proximity with the sample to be analyzed. Probe and sample ...
Artist's rendition of a LFM tip coming close to the side of a molecule, where it is sensitive to the terminal H-atoms. (Image: A. J. Weymouth) Hydrogen atoms situated at the edges of molecules affect ...
