Explore the difference between calculated forces and constraint forces in this physics-focused video! Learn how to identify, compute, and distinguish between the forces acting on objects, including ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

Resolution boost: localization AFM map (second from the left) of the AqpZ molecule. Also shown are a simple AFM image, the AgpZ structure derived from X-ray crystallography and a comparison of LAFM ...

The new simulations show a cross section of the star and its surrounding disk of gas. In the left image, where the young star is weakly magnetized, gas can be seen flowing freely from the surrounding ...

In order to increase our understanding of structural dynamics of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, they would need to be captured at the sub-nanometer scale and in physiologically relevant ...

Caltech scientists have created a quantum microscope that taps into the quirky quantum rules to see tiny details much more clearly. Using pairs of entangled photons allows the instrument to double the ...

(A–C) Representative images reconstructed by conventional method (left) and new method (right) of microtubules, nuclear pore complexes and F-actin samples. The regions enclosed by the white boxes are ...

See the wonders of physics brought to life in The Physics Force show at the U of M’s Northrup! If you haven’t attended one of the Physics Force shows before, it’s definitely worth a look! These ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...
