Laser makes microscopes way cooler
Canberra, Australia (SPX) Aug 21, 2014 - Laser physicists have found a way to make atomic-force microscope probes 20 times more sensitive and capable of detecting forces as small as the weight of an individual virus. The technique, developed by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU), hinges on using laser beams to cool a nanowire probe to minus 265 degrees Celsius. "The level of sensitivity achieved after c ... more
