New Nanocrystalline Diamond Probes Overcome Wear (redOrbit)
Researchers at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University have developed, characterized, and modeled a new kind of probe used in atomic force microscopy (AFM), which images, measures, and manipulates matter at the nanoscale.Using diamond, researchers made a much more durable probe than the commercially available silicon nitride probes, which are typically …
