Graphene, a layer of carbon atoms only one-atom thick but about 200 times stronger than steel, is also one of the best electrical and thermal conductors on earth. In spite of the impressive list of promising prospects, graphene has a darker side: it does not have a band-gap, once it is conducting it cannot be switched-off.
JPK Instruments, a world-leading manufacturer of nanoanalytic instrumentation for research in life sciences and soft matter, reports on the work from the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department of the Medical School at the University of Nebraska. The Department has selected the JPK ForceRobot® 300 system to extend their studies applying atomic force microscopy, AFM, in the measurement of single molecule force spectroscopy.

It is a challenging task to study the behavior of CO2 with instruments under geological conditions involving high-pressure. A new atomic force microscope (AFM) was developed by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Wright State University and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to withstand the pressure encountered by stored greenhouse gases underground.
