New AI Technique Boosts Atomic Force Microscope Resolution Beyond Physical Limits
- New AI technique allows atomic force microscopes to achieve resolutions below probe tip size, overcoming a fundamental limit
- Algorithm is trained on simulated microscope images to remove effects of probe tip width
- Successfully tested on imaging gold and palladium nanoparticles with known dimensions
- Shows path forward for using AI to improve accuracy of atomic force microscopy
- Additional training could lead to even more precise nanoscale surface profiling
