Shoppers who care about long-term reliability increasingly want to know which General Motors engines avoid Active Fuel Management, the cylinder deactivation system that has drawn scrutiny from some ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

Alex Luft, Thank you for taking the time to help me out. Since I posted my question, I found on the net a description of exactly how AFM works. The article explained how, in addition to cutting off ...

General Motors’ Active Fuel Management system has been around long enough to earn both fans and vocal critics, and that split ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase on the virus’s surface and sialic acid on the cell membrane, which trigger ...

Polymers are used in many industries, including food packaging, tire manufacturing, adhesives, and medical-grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) ...

Researchers have captured the dynamic nature of nuclear pore complexes with AFM, reshaping our understanding of intracellular ...

Photothermal AFM-IR, commonly referred to as AFM-IR, is an analytical technique used to understand the chemistry of a material at the nanoscale. It combines the nanoscale spatial resolution of atomic ...

Yup, that's exactly how AFM works. And I should have thought of the solution to shifting to manual mode . That does, indeed, disable AFM.
