Using droplet microlasers to measure forces in living matter

Deformable microlaser force sensing

New paper in Light Science Applications done in collaboration with the SchubertLab at HCNB and with our friends ad University of St Andrews. 

Elena and Joe show that tiny oil droplets can act as microscopic lasers and allow to measure absolute mechanical forces inside cells, tumour spheroids, and in vivo!
