Sharing my study burdens with my trusty blog

WHAT?! Molecule Optomechanical Machine: Force Measured by AFM Cantilever? S-Au bond to the AFM tip? Amide bond to the amino functionalized glass? Exposing an azobenzene polymer attached to a cantilever to 420nm light puts the polymer in tis lengthened trans state. Exposure to 365nm light causes the backbone to contract, pulling on the cantilever. Length difference = 2.8nm. HUH?! WHAT?!

ARGHHHH! *pull my hair*


Spur me on Langmuir!
