- Abstract:
This course covers sensing and measurement for quantitative molecular/cell/tissue analysis, in terms of genetic, biochemical, and biophysical properties. Methods include light and fluorescence microscopies; electro-mechanical probes such as atomic force microscopy, laser and magnetic traps, and MEMS devices; and the application of statistics, probability and noise analysis to experimental data.

- Abstract:
Scanning Probe Microscopy is an important tool for scientists and engineers. A classroom analogue constructed using Lego(R) building blocks is an effective way to represent how these tools work and to interpret the images produced by them. Background information for building a Lego(R) AFM and SPM are shown. Two laboratory activities are suggested, complete with advanced set-up information, pre-laboratory discussion, laboratory directions, and post-laboratory discussion. Instructions on making Surface Plots are included for Excel PRE 2007. More recent releases of Microsoft Excel no longer have this feature.

- Abstract:
This course focuses on the latest scientific developments and discoveries in the field of nanomechanics, the study of forces and motion on extremely tiny (10-9 m) areas of synthetic and biological materials and structures. At this level, mechanical properties are intimately related to chemistry, physics, and quantum mechanics. Most lectures will consist of a theoretical component that will then be compared to recent experimental data (case studies) in the literature. The course begins with a series of introductory lectures that describes the normal and lateral forces acting at the atomic scale. The following discussions include experimental techniques in high resolution force spectroscopy, atomistic aspects of adhesion, nanoindentation, molecular details of fracture, chemical force microscopy, elasticity of single macromolecular chains, intermolecular interactions in polymers, dynamic force spectroscopy, biomolecular bond strength measurements, and molecular motors.
