Nanomanipulator

Want to touch a blood clot? At UNC, Dr. Susan Lord leads a research team to see how the fibrin that causes blood to clot differs for healthy and sick people. Researcher Louis Jawerth used our nanoManipulator system to break fibrin fibers and see how strong they were. You can read about the results in Science, and you can touch a fibrin fiber yourself in the Nanomanipulator demonstration.
