Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of atomic‐force microscope tips
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a simple, nondestructive procedure for measuring the force constant, resonant frequency, and quality factor of an AFM cantilever spring and the effective radius of curvature of an AU tip.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Precision Test of Landauer’s Principle in a Feedback Trap
TL;DR: In this article, the authors confirm Landauer's 1961 hypothesis that reducing the number of possible macroscopic states in a system by a factor of 2 requires work of at least kT ln2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feedback for physicists: A tutorial essay on control
TL;DR: In this paper, a tutorial essay aims to give enough of the formal elements of control theory to satisfy the experimentalist designing or running a typical physics experiment and enough to satisfy a theorist wishing to understand its broader intellectual context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erratum: ‘‘Calibration of atomic‐force microscope tips’’ [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 64, 1868 (1993)]
TL;DR: In this article, the frequency response of the optical-detection electronics of an atomic-force microscope cantilever was corrected for a high frequency cut-off, which, in our case, was higher than the resonant frequency of the cantilevers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling genome-wide replication kinetics reveals a mechanism for regulation of replication timing.
TL;DR: This model is the first to suggest a detailed, testable, biochemically plausible mechanism for the regulation of replication timing in eukaryotes and demonstrates how initiation can be stochastic and yet occur at defined times during S phase, without an explicit timing program.
