General Motors's Active Fuel Management (AFM) technology utilizes hydraulic valves, solenoids, and advanced software to shut down half of the cylinders in a V8 or V6 engine to save fuel. The system ...
AFM is a scanning probe microscopic instrument that consists of a force-sensing microcantilever, a laser source, a piezoelectric scanner and a photodiode detector (Figure 1A). During AFM imaging, the ...
First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...
A collaboration team of researchers from the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM), Graduate School of Science at ...
What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...
AFM differs significantly from traditional microscopy techniques as it does not project light or electrons on the sample's surface to create its image. Instead, AFM utilizes a sharp probe while ...
