• Scientists Launched a New Method for Microscopy of Nanoobjects

  Scientists have managed to measure the electromechanical properties of nanotubes a thousand times thinner than a human hair. For that, they modified an existing method of the atomic force microscopy so that the scanning probe does not damage nanotubes while moving along a sample surface. The modification helped to study peptide nanotubes loosely attached to a substrate. This technique may prove useful for designing new biocompatible materials and compact devices. The results are published in the latest issue of Ultramicroscopy.
