Active and Passive Microrheology in Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Systems

<27>Microrheology is a powerful new experimental method for characterising soft and biological matter. Sophisticated analysis is required to extract quantitative data. Here we extended the applicability of microrheology (hence the range of materials that can be studied), which required introducing a novel computational component to the analysis (see p. 7198, "Local mechanical response..."). We validated the method on materials with known behaviour. In rapid uptake by the community, our methodology is now being used to support a broad range of systems, including within food science (DOI:10.1146/annurev-food-022510-13362), cell biology (DOI:10.1140/epje/i2012-12063-4), fluid dynamics (DOI:10.1146/annurev-fluid-121108-145608), soft matter physics (DOI:10.1039/c1sm05274h) and lab-on-a-chip technology (DOI:10.1088/0957-0233/23/12/125306).
