• NIST research highlights promise of AFM-IR for quantitative nanoscale chemical analysis.

  Anasys Instruments announced a new paper authored by Dr Andrea Centrone and his colleagues at NIST published recently in Small. Dr Centrone's team reported on experiments that carefully studied the AFM-IR signal strength versus sample thickness. The experiments showed that the AFM-IR signal increase more

• Anasys Instruments receives Microscopy Today’s 2011 Innovation Award for their AFM-IR platform

  Anasys Instruments’ AFM-IR system has been recognized by Microscopy Today in the receipt of the 2011 Innovation Award. It was presented to CEO, Roshan Shetty, at the 2011 M&M Annual conference held this year in Nashville, TN. The AFM-IR technique was developed by Dr. Alexandre Dazzi at the Universit more

• Getting the point: Real-time monitoring of atomic-microscope probes adjusts for wear
  

  Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a way to measure the wear and degradation of the microscopic probes used to study nanoscale structures in situ and as it's happening. Their technique can both dramatically speed up and improve the accuracy of more

• Chemisorption of Exchange‐Coupled [Ni2L(dppba)]+ Complexes on Gold by Using Ambidentate 4‐(Diphenylphosphino)benzoate Co‐Ligands

  Abstract A new strategy for the fixation of redox‐active dinickel(II) complexes with high‐spin ground states to gold surfaces was developed. The dinickel(II) complex [Ni2L(Cl)]ClO4 (1ClO4), in which L2− represents a 24‐membered macrocyclic hexaaza‐dithiophenolate ligand, reacts with ambidentate more

• Perpendicularly oriented lamellae in poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid) blended with an amorphous polymer: ultra-thin to thick films

  The oppositely oriented lamellae in ridge and valley bands of ring-banded spherulites in biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV) interacting with amorphous poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were examined using polarized-light optical, scanning electron, and atomic-force mi more

• Self-Assembly of Ketals of Arjunolic Acid into Vesicles and Fibers Yielding Gel-Like Dispersions

  Ten aliphatic and aromatic ketals of arjunolic acid, a renewable, nanosized triterpenic acid which is obtainable from Terminalia arjuna, have been synthesized upon condensation with aldehydes. Self-assembly properties of the ketals have been studied in a wide range of organic liquids. With the excep more
