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 ...

New physics window: Researchers used BaF molecules to probe unexplored electron–nucleus forces possibly linked to dark matter particles. Methodological advantage: Molecular analysis avoids nuclear ...

New physics target: Researchers set first constraints on possible dark matter–linked forces between electrons and nuclei using molecular measurements. Molecules as detectors: Heavy polar molecules ...
