A steadily growing toolbox is giving researchers the ability to monitor and measure the physical forces that shape embryonic development. Embryonic development is like an elaborate stage production, ...
What started as a question to the A-exam became a revolutionary discovery in the material science field. Neil Y.C. Lin — a graduate student from Cornell University pursuing a physics Ph.D. — was asked ...
Force spectroscopy relies on the precise measurement of forces acting on a probe as it interacts with a sample. The key principles of force spectroscopy include: AFM-based force spectroscopy is the ...
Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley published a paper last week on their measurement of the smallest force ever quantified. Researchers applied a known force to a ...
