Oslo, Norway – Seven pioneering scientists from Europe and the USA have been named this year’s recipients of the Kavli Prizes – prizes that recognise scientists for their pioneer advances in astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience.
30 years and 9,000 citations later the inventors of the atomic force microscope (AFM) were recognized last year with the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience “for the invention and realization of atomic force microscopy (AFM), a breakthrough in measurement technology and nanosculpting that continues to have a transformative impact on nanoscience and technology.”
