One common mistake is not properly immobilizing the sample, which can cause it to move during scanning. For instance, I faced ...

Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic iron nanominerals, which function as tiny compasses that allow the microbes to navigate using Earth's geomagnetic field. Earth's iron cycle is a very ...

Recent targets include the PLAT domain of human polycystin-1, which we show to recognise phosphatidyl serine and PI4P in the membrane; the protein Mms6, which helps assemble magnetite particles in ...

Anca Lungu’s work focused on magnetic force microscopy studies of single crystal ferromagnetic thin films and of the magnetic reversal of single domain particle chains isolated from magnetotactic ...
