Bionanomechanics group research appeared in the press and in CSIC news.

The group's work about mass sensing and stiffness spectrometry based on two-dimensional vibrations of resonant nanowires has been highlighted in CSIC news and national newspapers. The figure represents an artist view of the process where the red beam is the detection laser used to follow the small displacements of the nanowire. The white spheres represent the molecules being deposited on the nanowire. Molecules modify nanowire vibration accordingly to two properties: mass and elastic rigidity.Artist/Ramón Andrade. 3DCiencia.

  • Living cells exhibit mechanical resonances

    The Bionanomechanics group has achieved a significant advance in the understanding of the mechanical properties of human cells: it has successfully demonstrated that living cells, specifically human breast epithelial cells, exhibit mechanical resonances, a phenomenon previously considered implausible due to the extraordinary viscosity and complexity of cells in physiological media. https://journals.aps.org/prxlife/accepted/75070K26Wa31f40a872881247617595fa407ee3d3 You can learn more…
