Atomic force microscopy reveals three distinct dynamic states in individual polymer chain segments on surfaces, challenging ...

Polymer-based adhesives are essential for bonding lightweight materials used in transportation; however, how individual polymer chains behave at solid interfaces has remained unclear. In a recent ...

Kyushu University researchers have directly observed, for the first time, how individual polymers—chain-like molecules—behave when in contact with solid surfaces. Published in the Journal of the ...

Using atomic force microscopy, the researchers measured nanometric changes in height along different segments of a single polymer molecule. Through careful mathematical processing of these ...

This is an exciting time for polymer electron microscopy. Recent improvements in instrumentation are pushing resolution limits to remarkable new heights, achieving imaging at 0.5 Å, while dual beam ...

Since the 1950s, scientists have worked around this problem by coating samples with a thin layer of gold before imaging. While this approach made electron microscopy possible for countless discoveries ...
