Mechanosensitive biological nanomachines such as motor proteins and ion channels regulate diverse cellular behaviour. Combined optical trapping with single-molecule fluorescence imaging provides a ...

When a ball traveling through the air is spinning, some physics known as the magnus force kicks in to make it bend or curve. The magnitude of the magnus force depends on the ball’s rate of spin as ...

There’s a spectrum between force and velocity: on one end, there’s pure force, like isometric exercises where speed is negligible, such as a front plank or one-rep max lifts; on the other end, there’s ...
