Acknowledgement

Research is fun, and painful. It could be much more painful without great mentors standing beside you, and guiding you, and sharing every single piece of the successes and failures with you. I must say I am so blessed to have so many great scientists and researchers work with as my mentors on my research, and some are also close friends in my life. I want to express my deepest gratitude first to my adviser Prof. Tony Jun Huang, and my dear BioNEMS friends.

My most sincere thankfulness also goes to:
