About this Research Topic
Building on the groundwork laid in Volume I, this research topic aims to deepen the fundamental comprehension of biological materials and interfaces. It seeks to highlight state-of-the-art in situ characterization technologies that revolutionize our ability to observe and understand biological processes as they occur. With tools like scanning probe microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, and synchrotron X-ray techniques, researchers are now equipped to conduct sophisticated, real-time analyses that bring invaluable insights into the dynamic interactions and mechanisms within biological systems.
In pursuit of advancing our knowledge in this evolving field, we encourage contributions that explore a wide range of related themes, including:
Biological materials
Biological interfaces
Techniques for in situ characterization
Direct observation of biologically significant processes
Molecular-level analysis of biological interactions
Investigative chemistry of biomaterials
Molecular biophysics
This volume aims to cultivate a collaborative environment that integrates varied disciplinary perspectives and methodological approaches, pushing the limits of existing characterization techniques and enhancing our understanding and manipulation of complex biological interfaces and materials.
Keywords: Continuum length-scales, orientation, multi-modality, liquid cell, physiologically relevant
