Mechanical force is an essential feature for many physical and biological processes. Remote measurement of mechanical signals with high sensitivity and spatial resolution is needed for a wide range of applications, from robotics to cellular biophysics and medicine and even to space travel. Nanoscale luminescent force sensors excel at measuring piconewton forces, while larger sensors have proven powerful in probing micronewton forces.

Researchers have come up with a new way to identify more infectious variants of viruses or bacteria that start spreading in humans—including those causing flu, COVID, whooping cough and tuberculosis.
