During the last three decades, physicists and biophysicists have largely exploited single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) to advance many fields of physics, nanotechnology, and biology. The ability to probe one molecule at a time allows us to ask and answer questions that are impossible, or extremely difficult, to approach by ensemble techniques. Chemists did not fall into steps behind physicists and biologists and have benefited little from the advent of SMFS. The mechanics of bonds, which is still in its infancy, could largely benefit from SMFS. A big question like how forces and chemistry affect each other? merits special attention. Major questions, especially concerning the…
