Continuum Modeling the Behavior of Carbon Nanotubes in different load condition

Chaboki A., Sadrnejad S.A., Yahyaiee M., University of Sydney, AU

Molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics are the best method for analysis the CNTs behavior. Bur because of the difficulties and cost, this task is limited to small structure with limited atoms number. In this paper, [...]

Elastic Properties of Aspergillus nidulans Studied with Atomic Force Microscopy

Zhao L., Schaefer D.M., Xu H., Modi S., LaCourse W.R., Marten M.R., Towson University, US

An atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used as a nanoindentor to measure cell wall mechanical properties of the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans in both hyphal and spore forms. Hyphae and spores were immobilized on polylysine-coated [...]
