Atomistic Tribology

Three-dimensional subatomic scale AFM can measure friction

11.05.2017 tribonet 1,078 Views

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an extremely sensitive technique that allows us to image materials and/or characterize their physical properties on the atomic scale by sensing the force above material surfaces using a precisely controlled […]
