Pushing AFM capabilities to the limit

AFM was invented 35 years ago. Then, its capabilities were already impressive. But 35 years later, researchers have boosted its sensitivity and amazingly spread its spectrum of the quantities measured. Ricardo Garcia’s group, ForceTool, has participated in this process in a prominent position. In this last work , they’ve pushed these boundaries yet a little further.

This work is the result of the collaboration of Pataata and Scixel. We are expecting it to be just the first of many.
