Tuning friction force and reducing wear by applying alternating electric current in conductive AFM experiments
Friction and wear reduction induced by alternating current
The impact of alternating electric current on friction force is investigated using conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM). The AFM tips (ASYELEC 01-R2) are made of doped monolithic…

Quantitative analysis of EXAFS data sets using deep reinforcement learning
In the EXAFS data analysis process, the EXAFS data is extracted from measured XAFS as a function of photoelectron wave number, k. The atomic absorption background is properly determined using AUTOBK, which is a part of the Demeter package21. The…

Automated design of scaffold-free DNA wireframe nanostructures
Design pipeline
Polygonal meshes are routinely used in 3D graphics as discrete representations of the surfaces of 3D objects. Briefly, a polygonal mesh is a collection of polygonal faces that have been glued together along their edges to span the…
