Systemic therapies are usually preferred to treat this ring worm due to an inadequate penetration of the drugs administered topically, however, systemic treatments to antifungals are associated with limited penetration of the drug into the target tissue, as well as side effects and resistance.

PiFM images of PS-b-PMMA block copolymer (BCP) with a pitch of ~40 nm clearly show chemically identified structures with spatial resolution of 10 nm.
Extreme surface sensitivity is expected to be provided by PiFM, as dipole-dipole interaction between the image tip dipole and the induced sample dipole will change with ˜ 1/z4 dependence, where z refers to the tip-sample spacing.
While graphene is the thinnest and strongest material known to man, its lack of a natural bandgap prevents it from being used for important transistor and optoelectronic devices.
