This study combines optical tweezers with high-speed AFM to visualize DNA folding dynamics, revealing reversible structural changes and metastable intermediates.

This study enhances the imaging rate of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) using multiple techniques, enabling visualization of dynamic biomolecular processes at higher resolution.

This study shows that myosin V can perform ATP-free walking by converting strain energy from actin binding into mechanical work, similar to ATP-dependent walking.
