On the magnetic nanostructure of a Co–Cu alloy processed by high-pressure torsion
Lately the production of nanocrystalline magnetic materials starting with coarse grained materials (top-down approach) has received increasing interest.* The advantage of the top-down approach compared to the bottom-up approach ( e.g. using melt spinning, stacking of sheets, annealing treatments and other processing steps) is that rare-earth elements and additional processing steps such as stacking of […]
The authors of the cited article used NANOSENSORS™ SSS-MFMR magnetic AFM probes optimized for high resolution magnetic force imaging in the quantitative analysis of the magnetic microstructure by magnetic force microscopy to understand the measured magnetic properties and correlated this to the detected changes in coercivity. https://www.nanosensors.com/supersharpsilicon-magnetic…
The achieved results by Martin Stückler et al. show that the rising coercivity can be explained by a magnetic hardening effect occurring in context with spinodal decomposition.* Read more...

Quasi-one-dimensional metallic conduction channels in exotic ferroelectric topological defectsFri Mar 19 2021
Topological objects and defects (e.g. skyrmions, domain walls, vortices,) in condensed matters have attracted a lot of interest as a field for exploring emerging exotic phenomena and functionalities.* In materials with ferroic order, these topological objects can also be manipulated and controlled by external fields without disrupting their host lattice, making them promising elemental building … Continue reading in the NanoWorld blog
NanoWorld PlatinumIdridium5 coated Arrow-EFM AFM probes were used to examine the domain structures by vector piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). By using vector PFM mode, the authors could simultaneously map the vertical and lateral piezoresponse signals from the nanoisland one by one.* https://www.nanoworld.com/electrostatic-force-microscopy…

Tissue mechanics and expression of TROP2 in oral squamous cell carcinoma with varying differentiation
Atomic Force Microscopy ( AFM ) can be utilized to determine the mechanical properties of tumor tissues in different kinds of cancers, for example breast cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common subtype of head and neck and other malignant tumors that occurs in increasing numbers. It is … Continue reading
A Universal Model for the Log-Normal Distribution of Elasticity in Polymeric Gels and Its Relevance to Mechanical Signature of Biological TissuesTue Feb 16 2021
#AtomicForceMicroscopy ( #AFM ) is used as an important tool to assess the #elasticproperties of biological samples such as biologicaltissues etc.
In the article “Universal Model for the Log-Normal Distribution of Elasticity in Polymeric Gels and Its Relevance to Mechanical Signature of Biological Tissues* A. Millet proposes a physical model explaining how elasticity values frequently follow a log normal distribution and suggests that distribution-type analysis could increase the information obtained from AFM studies on #biologicaltissues.
NanoAndMore Colloidal #AFMprobes CP-qp-scont-BSG-A-5 were used to assess the elastic properties of the biological samples. The AFM measurements were done in PBS (Phosphate Buffer Saline).
Two New MSS Sensors for Torque Magnetometry added to NANOSENSORS™ Special Developments ListMon Feb 15 2021
Two New MSS Sensors for Torque Magnetometry added to the Special Developments List
NANOSENSORS™ has completed the development of two additional Membrane-type Surface-stress Sensors (MSS) ( SD-MSS-1KPMAl and SD-MSS-1KPMAu ) dedicated for torque magnetometry. Torque magnetometry is a useful technique often employed for assessment of various materials like organic conductors, magnetic and superconductor materials. Now NANOSENSORS™ has added two new types of MSS for this application “SD-MSS-1KPMAl” and “SD-MSS-1KPMAu” to the NANOSENSORS™Special Developments List.
These sensors can be used for nanomechanical sensing, material assessment, static/pulsed-field torque magnetometry, force sensing, and other applications. […]

Amphiphilic Poly(dimethylsiloxane-ethylene-propylene oxide)-polyisocyanurate Cross-Linked Block Copolymers in a Membrane Gas Separation
Block copolymers, including multiblock copolymers of an amphiphilic nature, because of their ability to form various supramolecular structures are attracting a lot of research interest these days. The direct influence on the supramolecular organization of block copolymers is a way of controlling both the mechanical and physicochemical properties of polymer materials obtained on this basis. … Continue reading
