Massive Improvement in the Stability of AFM's

Forget dancing angels, a research team from the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado
(CU) has shown how to detect and monitor the tiny amount of light reflected
directly off the needle point of an atomic force microscope probe, and in so
doing has demonstrated a 100-fold improvement in the stability of the instrument's
measurements under ambient conditions.
