Magnetic-Dielectric Cantilevers for Atomic Force Microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique that relies on detecting forces at the nanonewton scale. It involves using a cantilever with a tiny tip at one end. This tip interacts with the short- and long-range forces of material surfaces.

Magnetic resonance force microscopy with a permanent magnet on the cantilever [PDF]
When the variation of the bias field is on the order of a few hundred gauss, permanent magnetic microparticles of Nd/sub 2/Fe/sub 14/B (NdFeB) mounted on atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers generate much smaller nonresonance (NR) signals in the magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) spectra than most soft magnetic thin films.

Reduction of magnetic noise in magnetic resonance force microscopy [PDF]
We study the opportunity to reduce a magnetic noise produced by a uniform cantilever with a ferromagnetic particle in magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) applications. We demonstrate theoretically a significant reduction of magnetic noise and the corresponding increase of the MRFM relaxation time using a nonuniform cantilever.

AFM and MFM techniques for enzyme activity imaging and quantification
In this work, a new approach for enzyme activity monitoring is suggested. It is based on the real-time imaging, by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM), of the degradation of a nanoparticles-loaded enzyme responsive layer ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

qPlus magnetic force microscopy in frequency-modulation mode with millihertz resolution
Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) allows one to image the domain structure of ferromagnetic samples by probing the dipole forces between a magnetic probe tip and a magnetic sample. The magnetic domain structure of the sample depends on the alignment of the

Observation of interacting Josephson vortex chains by magnetic force microscopy
The ability to control Josephson vortices is instrumental for development of superconducting cryoelectronics. However, direct visualization of multivortex states in Josephson junctions is a challenging task.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.
