Indeed, stress is defined as the force divided by the area at the start of the experiment.

The temperature at which the liquid sample is sucked into the sealed capillary is the boiling point of the sample.

The van der Waals forces, which are strongest from 1 nm to 10 nm above the surface, or any other long range force that extends above the surface acts to decrease the resonance frequency of the cantilever.

One major challenge is various factors that affect the sample and raise the margin of error for the analysis.
