Researchers at UBC Okanagan have made two major discoveries that are set to revolutionize how scientists observe and measure molecular forces within living cells. Published recently in two ...

Why does water roll off a duck's back but spread on clean glass? For macroscopic (millimeter-scale) drops, this behavior can ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have built a molecular "leash" to pull directly on a force-sensing protein called Piezo1, and discovered it switches on at about 15 ...

Nanobiomechanics is an interdisciplinary field that combines the principles of nanoscience, biomechanics, and biology to study the mechanical properties and behavior of biological systems at the ...
