Rapid demographic changes demand improved biomedical diagnostic technologies with rapidness, minimized invasiveness, low cost and high-throughput, without sacrificing the sensitivity. Considering the miniature size, scalability of fabrication, and ease of chemical modification, nanoscale transducers packaged in small and flexible electronic chips and integrated with additional circuits and...
Sub-ångström resolution has been demonstrated in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning TEM (STEM) imaging experiments thanks to the recent development of spherical and chromatic corrected equipment and/or to the development of methodologies capable to overcome the limitations related to the electron optical aberrations. Moreover, a special attention has to be paid to the eventual...
Nanotribology is a young and dynamic research field that aims to investigate friction, wear and adhesion phenomena down to the atomic scale. Since these processes occur in all natural, artificial or conceptual situations involving two surfaces (at least) in contact or in close proximity to each other, it is not surprising that, knowingly or not, many physicists, materials scientists,...
