12 May 2022AFM: an ally to reach the frontiers of nanotechnology, biophysics and biologyDavid Alsteens is the head of the team that has just made this very promising discovery in the health field. He has been working on it for several years. His aim is to investigate the molecular mechanisms. His most valuable ally (apart from his team)? The atomic force microscope.
