However, instead of heating the entire sample, the researchers used a hot atomic force microscope (AFM) tip to convert very narrow ribbons, measuring just 12 nm across, into reduced graphene.

然而，研究人员并非采用加热整个样本的方案，而是使用了原子力显微镜(afm)一个加热探针去转换出一条仅有12纳米宽的导电带。

Dr Hinterdorfer and his team tested this idea by applying a coating of an antigen (an enzyme called lysozyme) to a mica sheet, and suspending an appropriate antibody from the tip of an atomic-force microscope with a flexible polymer tether.
