Atomic force microscopy apparatus and method that enable observing charge generation transients with nanometer spatial resolution and nanosecond to picosecond time resolution, the timescale relevant for studying photo-generated charges in the world's highest efficiency photovoltaic films. The AFM apparatus includes an AFM, a light source for illumination of a sample operatively coupled to the AFM, a voltage source operatively coupled to the AFM, and a control circuitry operatively coupled to the light source and the voltage source. The AFM apparatus improves the time resolution and enables rapid acquisition of photocapacitance transients in a wide array of solar-energy-harvesting materials.

Atomic force microscopy apparatus, methods, and applications

A method for treating or preventing a disease or condition that operates by calcium transport through the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), the method comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of an MCU inhibitor having the following structure: wherein L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L, X, and Xare independently selected from halide, amine groups &#x2014;NRRR, phosphine groups &#x2014;PRRR, carboxylate groups RC(O)O&#x2014;, and solvent molecules, and provided that at least one of L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L, X, and Xis selected from amine or phosphine groups; wherein R, R, R, and Rare independently selected from hydrogen atoms and hydrocarbon groups having up to six carbon atoms, wherein two of R, R, and Rwithin a &#x2014;NRRRgroup are optionally interconnected to form an N-containing ring; and R groups in adjacent amino or phosphine groups may optionally interconnect.
