Abstract: We report the mechanical strength of native chitin nanofibrils. Highly crystalline α-chitin nanofibrils were purified from filaments produced by a microalgae Phaeocystis globosa, and two types of β-chitin nanofibrils were purified from pens of a… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Studying interfacial dynamics of a single biological entity (cell, virus, or organelle) is critical for understanding microbial biofilm formation processes, developing biosensors, and designing biomaterials. However, the ability to measure the binding force between… read more here.
