Measuring the tension forces at specific sites in living cells is technically challenging. Now, a fluorescent biosensor protein can be used to characterize dynamic local changes in tension in ...

The goal of mechanobiology is to develop a mechanical description of cells and their parts. Platelet clotting, for example, is an important biological process that can only be fully understood if a ...

A tensiometer is an instrument used to measure the surface tension (γ) of liquids or surfaces in the domain of physics. Surface tension is the contractive quality of the surface of a liquid that ...

During manufacturing or converting processes, material is generally pulled off a roll, processed, and rewound — in sections called unwind, intermediate, and rewind zones, respectively. Knowing the ...

The PIAB RTM is very simple and handy to use. Simply hold and "clip" it to the rope to be tested and use the large hand screw to deflect the rope to a fixed angle. The resultant force will then affect ...

When webs of continuous paper, wire, cloth, or plastic are manufactured, the material is typically pulled off a roll, processed, and rewound in unwind, intermediate, and rewind zones. Knowing the ...
