Seeing the Little Picture: Novel Nanocoating Gives Atomic Force Microscope Users a Better Look at Individual Molecules

Spotting a disease in its earliest stages can help to facilitate its treatment greatly, yet telltale clues are often hidden at a scale too small to study accurately. This hindrance has some researchers looking for ways to use high-powered atomic force microscopes (AFMs) to study individual molecules for disease markers

"The greatest bottleneck in my work is the ability to handle molecules in such a way that does not produce false positives or negatives," says Ozgur Sahin , a junior fellow at Harvard's Rowland Institute.
