Scientists are often limited by the observational technology available to conduct experiments and capture valuable insights into material behaviour. A team from the University of Tsukuba has once again come through with a new time-resolved AFM technique that will have important ramifications of the future of microscopy.

With our awareness of, and desire to change, our reliance on fossil fuels, new alternatives are incredibly valuable. One of these alternatives is biodiesel, which is made from waste vegetable oils or animal fats, and is up to four times faster at breaking down than fossil fuel derivatives – and significantly less toxic.

Widely used to identify, deduce and quantify compounds, mass spectrometers have found an array of uses. Yet, they’re bulky, heavy and fragile pieces of equipment, limiting where they can be deployed. Now, through the use of 3D printing, researchers have unlocked the potential for creating lightweight, portable mass spectrometers…
