The triangular tip is an atomic force cantilever, measuring the knife's breaking point. (NIST) A nanoknife is a carbon nanotube -based prototype compression cutting tool intended for sectioning of biological cells. [1] Working principle is similar to that of a 'cheese slicer' [citation needed], a nanometer-thin individual carbon nanotube strung ...
