PiFM is a technique that employs a high degree of chemical specificity, in a non-destructive manner, with no need for additives or labelling. We take a look at the benefits of using PiFM with your samples, and the applications that they currently, and have the possibility in the future to, frequent.

Researchers have developed carbon nanospheres (CNSs) using a hydrothermal method, and coated them with TiO2 and ZnO layers by atomic layer deposition (ALD).
As environmental concerns surrounding water pollution grows, there is a need for one or more solutions to combat worldwide problems.
Researchers develop a self-assembly method using MBE to create high-quality, pure cubic Boron Nitride Nanodots for advanced applications.
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which show a semiconducting band gap, have attracted a lot of attention recently due to their remarkable electronic and optical performance.
