Description of Symposium:

This symposium brought together researchers from many disciplines to share their knowledge of AFM techniques and to discuss some of the exciting applications they each work on.  Among the topics presented were liquid nanodroplets, stretching the macromolecules on living yeast and fungal cells, measuring bacterial interaction and adhesion forces, chemically mapping the distribution of polysaccharides in a solution, force-based biosensors, nanomechanics, biomaterials, and forces in environmental systems.
