String theorists weren't always sanguine about testing the theory, as it seemed impossible to probe the forces operating over such short distances.
To measure lateral forces more directly, single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS), in which a single bacterial cell is attached to the AFM cantilever, can be applied to probe the forces between this single bacterium and a surface.
This work describes the design and synthesis of novel metallomechanophore constructs intimately connected with polymer chains suitable for testing by single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) to probe the effect mechanical forces on the behavior of coordination complexes.
When using vibrotactile thresholds to investigate neuropathy in the fingers, the indentation of a vibrating probe, and the force applied to a static surround around a vibrating probe, affect thresholds.
In view of the fact that the AFM tip is very sensitive to weak forces, it could probe the adhesion force interaction, which is difficult to be detected by other instruments [21].
As previously described [ 26], the probe of the force gauges used to measure the ROM was fitted to the distal part of the ankle and then the strings were pulled with a tension of 0.49 N in the direction perpendicular to the trunk to extend the knee joint.
In a stirring call to action, an author probes the forces that undermine evidence-based science policy.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.03398.019 Simulations probing the force-response of MMO spindles reveal critical forces that are, on average, only 8% higher than those measured for reconstructed wild-type and cdc25.22 spindles.
The sTNP tip can be considered a point charge with which to probe the electrostatic force field beside the top electrode of the parallel plate condenser.
Jenke et al. [8] used a Pt-coated Si tip with a radius of about 380 nm to probe the electrostatic force generated above embedded nanoelectrodes in the vertical (Z) direction.
