Probing lipid membrane bending mechanics using gold nanorod tracking

Lipid bilayer membranes undergo rapid bending undulations with wavelengths from tens of nanometers to tens of microns due to thermal fluctuations. Here, we probe such undulations and the membranes’ mechanics by measuring the time-varying orientation of single gold nanorods (GNRs) adhered to the memb...
