Cantilever Enhanced with Electronic White Noise

Caption

A cantilever measures atomic forces coming from proteins interacting under an atomic force microscope. Georgia Tech engineers have significantly improved the device's sensitivity by adding electronic white noise, allowing the device to measure interactions from further away, thus avoiding touching biomolecules.
