The origin of contrast in atomic force microscopy (AFM) lies in the probe's response to forces between itself and the sample. These forces most commonly result from changes in height as the tip is scanned over the surface, but can also originate in properties inherent in the sample. These have been

## Abstract A new micromechanical technique was developed to study the mechanical properties of single collagen fibrils. Single collagen fibrils, the basic components of the collagen fiber, have a characteristic highly organized structure. Fibrils were isolated from collagenous materials and their
The attachment of particles to bubbles in solution is of fundamental importance to several industrial processes, most notably in the process of froth flotation. During this process hydrophobic particles attach to air bubbles in solution, which allows them to be separated as froth at the surface. The
## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) released from mechanosensitive bone cells plays a key role in the adaptation of bone structure to its mechanical usage. Despite its importance in bone, the mechanisms involved in NO mechanotransduction at the cellular level remain unknown. Using combined atomic force m
