Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is a scanning probe technique capable of detecting MRI signals from nanoscale sample volumes, providing a paradigm-changing potential for structural biology and medical research. Thus far, however, experiments have not reached suffcient spatial resolution for retrieving meaningful structural information from samples. In this work, we report MRFM imaging scans demonstrating a resolution of 0.9 nm and a localization precision of 0.6 nm in one dimension. Our progress is enabled by an improved spin excitation protocol furnishing us with sharp spatial control on the MRFM imaging slice, combined with overall advances in instrument stability. From a modeling of the slice function, we expect that our arrangement supports spatial resolutions down to 0.3 nm given suffcient signal-to-noise ratio. Our experiment demonstrates the feasibility of sub-nanometer MRI and realizes an important milestone towards the three-dimensional imaging of macromolecular structures.

We report the development of a scanning force microscope based on an ultra-sensitive silicon nitride membrane transducer. Our development is made possible by inverting the standard microscope geometry - in our instrument, the substrate is vibrating a
nd the scanning tip is at rest. We present first topography images of samples placed on the membrane surface. Our measurements demonstrate that the membrane retains an excellent force sensitivity when loaded with samples and in the presence of a scanning tip. We discuss the prospects and limitations of our instrument as a quantum-limited force sensor and imaging tool.
With recent advances in dynamic scanning probe microscopy techniques, it is now a routine to image the sub-molecular structure of molecules with atomically-engineered tips which are prepared via controlled modification of the tip termination and are
chemically well-defined. The enhanced spatial resolution is possible as atomically-engineered tips can preserve their integrity in the repulsive interaction regime. Although the mechanism of improved spatial resolution has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically, the ultimate temporal resolution while preserving picometer scale spatial resolution still remains an open question. Here, we computationally analyze the temporal resolution of atomic force microscopy imaging with atomically-engineered tips. Our computational results reveal that non-metal terminated tips, e.g. oxygen-terminated copper, are well-suited for enhanced temporal resolution up to video rate imaging velocities while preserving picometer range spatial resolution. Contrarily, the highest-attainable spatial resolution of atomically-engineered tips with low-stiffness, e.g. CO-terminated, deteriorate with increasing imaging velocity. Our results reveal that when atomically-engineered tips terminated with molecules are in use, imaging velocities in the order of nanometers per second at most are inevitable even for atomically flat surfaces to retain atomic resolution and avoid slip-stick motion. In addition to shedding light on the temporal resolution of atomic force microscopy imaging with atomically-engineered tips, our numerical results provide an outlook to the scalability of atom-by-atom fabrication using scanning probe microscopy techniques.
We propose an approach for super-resolution optical lithography which is based on the inverse of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The technique uses atomic coherence in an ensemble of spin systems whose final state population can be optically detect
ed. In principle, our method is capable of producing arbitrary one and two dimensional high-resolution patterns with high contrast.
We use a 1.0-um-wide patterned Cu wire with an integrated nanomagnetic tip to measure the statistical nuclear polarization of 19F in CaF2 by magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). With less than 350 uW of dissipated power, we achieve rf magnetic
fields over 4 mT at 115 MHz for a sample positioned within 100 nm of the microwire rf source. A 200-nm diameter FeCo tip integrated onto the wire produces field gradients greater than 10^5 T/m at the same position. The large rf fields from the broadband microwire enable long rotating-frame spin lifetimes of up to 15 s at 4 K.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has approached the limit of single molecule sensitivity, however the spectral resolution is currently insufficient to obtain detailed information on chemical structure and molecular interactions. Here we
demonstrate more than two orders of magnitude improvement in spectral resolution by performing correlation spectroscopy with shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetic sensors in diamond. In principle, the resolution is sufficient to observe chemical shifts in $sim$1 T magnetic fields, and is currently limited by molecular diffusion at the surface. We measure oil diffusion rates of $D = 0.15 - 0.2$,nm$^2/mathrm{mu}$s within (5 nm)$^3$ volumes at the diamond surface.
