Non-invasive determination of the complete elastic moduli of spider silks
TL;DR: The principles of Brillouin imaging are applied to spatially map the elastic stiffnesses on a spider web without deforming or disrupting the web in a non-invasive, non-contact measurement, finding variation among discrete fibres, junctions and glue spots.

Structural flexibility in proteins
TL;DR: An elastic network model is developed for the whole protein crystal in order to study the influence of crystal packing and lattice vibrations on the thermal fluctuations of the atom positions and the main findings are crystal packing modifies the atomic fluctuations considerably and thermal fluctuations are not the dominant contribution to crystallographic Debye-Waller factors.

Hydration-dehydration of adsorbed protein films studied by AFM and QCM-D.
TL;DR: The hydration-dehydration process of an adsorbed human serum albumin film has been studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) to study changes of physical properties of the films in terms of viscosity, shear, Young's modulus, density and film thickness.
