This article presents new methods for testing the nanometer-scale thermo-mechano-chemical response of an energetic material via Heated tip AFM (HT-AFM). Thermo-chemical reactions can be induced on the thin film materials by controlling the temperature of the probe. The experiments investigate propagation of the thermo-chemical reaction based on size, shape, spacing, and anisotropy.

Nano-TA is a local thermal analysis technique which combines the high spatial resolution imaging capabilities of atomic force microscopy with the ability to obtain an understanding of the thermal behaviour of materials with a spatial resolution of sub-100nm. The aim of this work was to characterize the nanoscale inclusions within two 50/50 polyolefin blends. Imaging these materials using a conventional AFM probe had revealed the scale and form of their phase-separated microstructures, but could not identify which polymer formed the matrix and which formed the occluded phase.

Using two sophisticated imaging techniques, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators at Stony Brook University, University College London, and Washington University School of Medicine have captured molecular-level "snapshots" of the cellular machinery that assembles hairlike projections on certain bacterial cells. These projections, called pili, enable the bacteria to attach to and infect bladder and kidney cells
