Invited Speaker
Single-molecule and single-cell force measurements provide essential quantitative insights into the thermodynamics and mechanics of complex biological systems. We utilize atomic force microscopy (AFM) to analyze materials across a range of length scales, from individual biopolymers to live cells. At the molecular level, we explore the force response, equilibrium states, and dynamic properties...
