Bruker’s fully automated AFM solutions enable the highly accurate, non-destructive, nanoscale characterization of surfaces, while delivering high-throughput data for inline process control and actionable data for hybrid bonding yield enhancement. In the clip below, Sean Hand, Senior Staff Applications Scientist, Bruker, details how AFM and AFP cover needs at all length scales during the hybrid bonding process. #automation #semiconductorindustry #qualitycontrol #afm

⭕ Is that nano-SpaghettiO's? Nope, it’s regulator of cell death-1 (RCD-1) oligomers on supported lipid bilayers. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gsnQkY6b 🔬 Bruker's ScanAsyst-Fluid+ (SAF+) and SNL-10-B probes were used with a MultiMode8 AFM in tapping mode and PeakForce QNM in fluid. AFM imaging played a pivotal role in this study, being used to visualize how RCD-1 binds to acidic lipid membranes and forms pores. It revealed that RCD-1-1 and RCD-1-2 form heterodimers, which self-assemble into transmembrane pores approximately 14.5 nm wide. AFM force spectroscopy was employed to demonstrate how RCD-1 proteins induce membrane bending. This technique, along with micropipette aspiration, showed that the bending occurs due to the low bending moduli of the membranes.

👟 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝘂𝘀-𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗲-𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? Insufficient friction between shoe and floor causes slips and falls. Increasing friction via shoe and flooring selection reduces slips. Surface roughness is easily and frequently measured using a stylus profilometer (like the DektakXT used in this study or its descendent, Dektak Pro). Broadly, surface roughness is related to friction between surfaces – increased roughness, more friction. But does stylus-measured surface roughness have a generalizable relationship to shoe-floor friction? The authors of this May 2024 article in Tribology International used 23 commercially available, unaltered porcelain tiles and 4 types of real footwear to explore this question. 📰 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gF-KE7Ev 📝 Authors: 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗕.
