Innovative Method for Measuring Free Energy in Microscopic and Nanoscopic Systems

What is the driving factor for engines to move and cells to live? All this boils down to an entity termed “free energy,” which is typically the energy that can be derived from any system to carry out useful work. Any lack of this available energy would render a machine idle or will lead to the eventual death of a living organism.
