Using AFM and Optical Tweezers to study the operation of small synthetic molecules... one molecule at a time !
"Mechanical force is used to probe π–π interactions within individual perylene diimide dimers by AFM-based force spectroscopy. Passive force spectroscopy quantifies their lifetimes under load and capture their dissociation pathways, providing insight into the energy landscape of noncovalent assemblies."
