Visualizing Nature at Work from the Nano to the Macro Scale

چکیده
Visalizing the structure and dynamics of proteins, supramolecular assemblies, and cellular components are often key to our understanding of biological function. Here, we focus on the major approaches in imaging, analyzing, and processing biomedical data ranging from the atomic to the macro scale. Relevant biomedical applications at different length scales are chosen to illustrate and discuss the various aspects of data acquisition using multiple modalities including electron microscopy and scanning force microscopy. Moreover, powerful scientific software is presented for processing, analyzing, and visualizing heterogeneous data. Examples of using this software in the context of visualizing biological nano-machines are presented and discussed. (Nanobiotechnology DOI: 10.1385/Nano:1:1:7)

متن کاملThe nature of the frictional force at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scales
Nowadays it is accepted that the friction force is a combined effect arising from various phenomena: adhesive forces, capillary forces, contact elasticity, topography, surface chemistry, and generation of a third body, etc. Any of them can dominate depending on the experimental force and length scales of the study. Typical forces in macro-tribology are in the Newtons, while are reduced to milli...
متن کاملEstimation of the Elastic Properties of Important Calcium Silicate Hydrates in Nano Scale - a Molecular Dynamics Approach
Approximately, 50 to 70 percent of hydration products in hydrated cement paste are polymorphisms of C-S-H gel. It is highly influential in the final properties of hardened cement paste. Distinguishing C-S-H nano-structure significantly leads to determine its macro scale ensemble properties. This paper is dealt with nano-scale modeling. To achieve this, the most important C-S-H compounds, with a...
متن کاملPredicting Young’s Modulus of Aggregated Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polymer
Prediction of mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-based composite is one of the important issues which should be addressed reasonably. A proper modeling approach is a multi-scale technique starting from nano scale and lasting to macro scale passing in-between scales of micro and meso. The main goal of this research is to develop a multi-scale modeling approach to extract mechanical propert...
