  • DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Khalid Salaita

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Abstract: Cells are highly dynamic structures that are constantly converting chemical energy into mechanical work to pull and push on one another and on their surroundings. These pulls and pushes are mediated by tiny molecular forces at the scale of piconewtons. For context, 7 pN applied a distance of 1 nm is ~1 kcal/mol. Nonetheless, […]
