		<description><![CDATA[In an earlier posting on this blog about surface roughness measurement with the AFM, I wrote that the rms roughness is too often the only numerical parameter that is computed and reported (February 4, 2008). I wrote about asymmetry in the height distribution, and how the rms roughness does not address it, and used skewness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Silver nanoparticles are known for their anti-microbial properties and have been used in bandages, socks (to prevent foot infections), and laundry detergent. Researchers are also looking into their use for food packaging and potentially even directly into foods. Iowa State University is researching this possibility &#8212; Click HERE to see the website.

		<description><![CDATA[Before it is modified and morphed into an SPM image, the underlying data, in a more primitive form, is one continuous, long sequence collected in the time-domain—a single one dimensional waveform that contains the variation of one dependent parameter, e.g. the AFM cantilever deflection, with the one independent parameter, time.
To create the image, this waveform’s [...]]]></description>

The same thing happens in the world of particle analysis.   The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;m not a medical doctor, I&#8217;m very intrigued with the possibility of nanoparticles becoming the drug delivery mechanism for the future.  Delivering small doses of medicines directly to cancer cells would eliminate the painful chemotherapy that many now have to suffer through.  I&#8217;ve had several friends who have gone through this misery and it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To obtain a reasonable measure of surface roughness on the nanometer scale, people most often use the atomic force microscope (AFM) or the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), not only because they offer the required resolution, but also, and more importantly, because AFM and STM images are height-encoded. This means we can measure the dimensions of [...]]]></description>
