viruses, which can potentially spread and result in outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It is hence important to study them and understand the way they replicate in order to prevent their spread. One common technique used to study viruses and their genome is transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is behind the current COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the whole world since the outbreak started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The virus has been spreading rapidly since, leading to many deaths and severe consequences on the economies of countries worldwide.

Scientists at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois have suggested a new approach to improve AFM-IR measurements sensitivity. This method, proposed by Rohit Bhargava and his colleagues, is based on a closed-loop feedback system using piezoelectric material and offers responsivity-corrected AFM-IR imaging.
Nanoscale materials have extensive applications in various fields, ranging from nanoelectronics and photonics to everyday devices such as sensors and batteries. To fully explore and develop their potential, the methods and tools used for their characterization must be sufficiently accurate and reliable.
