Soft Interferometric Nanostrain Sensor Reveals Solid‐Liquid Interfacial Tension Oscillation Amplified by Competitive Adsorption
Researchers have created an interferometric nanostrain sensor that measures solid‑liquid interfacial tension of unlabeled protein drops with sub‑0.25 mN m⁻¹ resolution. Using fetal bovine serum, the device shows that γSL declines as protein concentration rises while γSV stays unchanged. Beyond the expected Langmuir adsorption trend, the sensor detects a high‑frequency, low‑amplitude oscillation in γSL that intensifies when multiple proteins compete for the surface. This oscillatory behavior, previously hidden in colloidal systems, is amplified by competitive adsorption.
