For centuries, doctors have used their hands as essential diagnostic tools - exploring joints and palpating abdomens to assess a patient's health. Often a cancer will reveal itself as a lump or ...

A method tracks the motion of nucleolar layers to determine the viscoelastic properties of a membraneless organelle.

Fundamental aspects of polymer rheology, including the theory of linear viscoelasticity, measurement of fundamental flow properties, constitutive equations, the kinetic- molecular theories of ...

Typical nanomechanical applications include measuring elastic modulus, friction and adhesion. Viscoelastic materials, which include polymers and biological materials, have elastic properties that ...
