Quantum-limited measurement method for nanosensors
New fabrication techniques have enabled the development of on-chip mechanical elements whose dimensions are on the nanometre (one millionth mm) scale. Their application, however, has been limited by the lack of sufficiently sensitive techniques for measuring the motion of these tiny devices. A team more …

3D animation of the molecular force sensor titin kinase
Our muscles get stronger after excercise, but how do they sense where and when to grow? In combination with AFM-based single molecule force spectroscopy, molecular dynamics simulations and enzymatics we showed, that the autoinhibited muscle enzyme titin kinase gets activated by physiological forces more …
