By rapidly twisting a microscopically small tip back and forth, researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have unlocked a new way to detect subtle changes on the surface of a material flexing in response to infrared light. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. In a paper published in the journal Nature Communications , the researchers describe a new way to take high-resolution images that they call infrared torsional force microscopy, or TFM-IR for short.

A twisting AFM probe maps vertical and horizontal infrared vibrations in 2D materials at near-nanometer resolution, revealing hidden chemical fingerprints. (Nanowerk News) By rapidly twisting a microscopically small tip back and forth, researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have unlocked a new way to detect subtle changes on the surface of a material flexing in response to infrared light.

A schematic of a novel infrared torsional force microscopy (TFM-IR) experiment conducted at the University of Maryland. A material sample (located on the dark gray disc) is illuminated with pulses from an infrared laser. A microscopic tip, twisted rapidly back and forth on a long arm, scans the surface of the material to sense its response to the light.
