Atomic force microscopy has the capacity to identify a range of nanoscale properties alongside topography in any environment; this is central to the power and extensive applicability of this method.

Microscopists often wish – and intuit – that the microstructures that they measure correlate somehow to bulk properties. However, this correlation can be hard to measure. Machine learning, in ...
