Abstract:
The mechanically activated Piezo channels, including Piezo1 and Piezo2 in mammals, function as key mechanotransducers for converting mechanical force into electrochemical signals. This review highlights key evidence for the potential of Piezo channel drug discovery. First, both mouse and human genetic studies have unequivocally demonstrated the prominent role of Piezo channels in various mammalian physiologies and pathophysiologies, validating their potential as novel therapeutic targets. Second, the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the 2,547-residue mouse Piezo1 trimer has been determine

Abstract:
Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) can be done by making a simple change in conventional scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) where the usual rigid STM tip is replaced with a flexible magnetic tip. STM images acquired this way show both the topography and the magnetic forces acting on the flexible tip. The z-motion of the STM piezo tube scanner flexes the tip to balance the magnetic force so that the end of the tip remains a fixed tunneling distance from the sample surface. We present a review of some “tunneling-stabilized” MFM (TSMFM) images showing magnetic bit tracks on a hard disk, Bloch wall

The electrochemical formation of gradients in self assembled monolayers has been demonstrated recently [1]. The capacity to image these gradients provides useful information on the physical chemistry of electrochemical striping.Imaging chemical gradients requires the ability to sense the chemical moiety on the top of the self-assembled monolayer. This has been accomplished by derivatizing an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip with molecules selected to have specific interactions with the sample in a technique known as chemical force microscopy [2].

Piezo-driven atomic force microscopy cantilevers in air or liquid have a substantial drawback in that they produce spurious resonances that conceal the cantilever resonance peak.

Abstract:
The biological sensing interface on the active area of a piezo transducer is responsible for the sensitivity, specificity, reusability, and reproducibility of these devices. Among the approaches used to functionalize piezo transducers, mixed self-assembled monolayers (MSAMs) are one of the most successful, given that they allow the obtaining of semi-crystalline molecular arrays and the arrangement of a bioreceptor on the surface. But, to deploy MSAMs on a substrate effectively, one must optimize and characterize the structural ratio between them and the bioreceptor. In this paper, we developed

Abstract:
Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is among the best techniques for examining and assessing local magnetic characteristics in surface structures at scales and sizes. It may be viewed as a unique way to operate atomic force microscopy with a ferromagnetic tip. The enhancement of magnetic signal resolution, the utilization of external fields during measurement, and quantitative data analysis are now the main areas of MFM development. We describe a new structure of MFM design based on a cryogen-free superconducting magnet. The piezoelectric tube (PZT) was implemented with a tip-sample coarse approac

Abstract:
This work addresses the global sustainable development concerns by investigating the enhancement of piezo-photocatalytic efficiency in bismuth ferrite-based thin films synthesized using reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering. The influence of substrate type and Cr addition on structural, optical and ferroelectric properties of bismuth ferrite (BFO) based thin films was investigated. X-ray diffraction measurements showed the formation of different phases depending on the substrate used for sample growth. Compared to the BFO film deposited on FTO (F-SnO2), the Cr-doped BFO (BFCO) sampl

Abstract:
Atomic force microscopy is a powerful topography imaging method used widely in nanoscale metrology and manipulation. A conventional Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) utilizes an optical lever system typically composed of a laser source, lenses and a four quadrant photodetector to amplify and measure the deflection of the cantilever probe. This optical method for deflection sensing limits the capability of AFM to obtaining images in transparent environments only. In addition, tapping mode imaging in liquid environments with transparent sample chamber can be difficult for laser-probe alignment due t

Abstract:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has developed into a very powerful tool for characterization of surfaces and nanoscale objects. Many physical properties of an object can be studied by AFM with nanometer-scale resolution. Local stiffness, elasticity, conductivity, capacitance, magnetization, surface potential and work function, friction, piezo response—these and many other physical properties can be studied with over 30 AFM modes. What is typically lacking in information provided by AFM studies is the chemical composition of the sample and information about its crystal structure. To obtain this i

This paper demonstrates a modified tribo-nanolithgraphy (TNL), micro- to nanometer scale mechanical machining processes, on metallic thin film surfaces which have poor machinability in micro scale under several mN normal loads. TNL is one of the promising atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based lithography processes which is more effective fabrication technology, as compared to conventional photolithography due to its relatively simple processes, high resolution, short processing time, and low cost.

Silicone elastomer composites with piezoelectric properties, conferred by incorporated polyimide copolymers, with pressure sensors similar to human skin and kinetic energy harvester capabilities, were developed as thin film (<100 micron thick) layered architecture.
