SPM/AFM lab
Science Center 102
We use Atomic force microscopy in liquids and ambient conditions to study
Biosystems/biomaterials
- human epithelial cells,
- manipulation and arrangement of molecules, to do “nanosurgery”
- biosensors to improve their sensitivity and speed by orders of magnitude
- nanophysiology of insects
- human skin
- dental surfaces
Surface Science/Materials:
- mechanisms of self-assembly,
- nanomechanics,
- interaction between nanoclasters and colloidal particles immersed in various media, surfactants,
- chemical mechanical planarization (CMP),
- true atomic resolution in liquids,
- localized charges on photoactive materials.
