TL;DR: The deflection of scanning force microscope cantilevers, metal coated on one side, is significantly influenced by both thermal heating and variations in relative humidity as mentioned in this paper, and the deflection can be estimated from shifts in the cantilever resonance frequency with picogram mass resolution.

TL;DR: A multianalytical approach to understand the interactions of synthesized nanoparticles with bacterial systems is initiated initially on cerium oxide nanoparticles and model bacteria in order to evaluate characterization procedures and the possible fate of such materials in the environment.

TL;DR: The biosynthesis of extracellular silver-based single nanocrystallites of well-defined composition and homogeneous morphology utilizing the gamma-proteobacterium, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, upon incubation with aqueous silver nitrate solution is reported, with implications for the potential uses of Ag nanomaterials and for their fate in biological and environmental systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a variational method is used to calculate the deflection and the fundamental and harmonic resonance frequencies of commercial V•shaped and rectangular atomic force microscopy cantilevers, which is roughly half that calculated for the equivalent rectangular cantilever.

TL;DR: In this paper, changes in the resonance frequency of microcantilevers due to adsorption of analyte vapor on exposed surfaces is shown to provide a novel means for detection of the analyte.
