in relating bond rupture of single bonds to their bulk, ensemble equilibrium coun-
terparts. In addition, the theory and experimental use of stiff probes, as opposed
to the commonly used soft probes, may provide deeper insights into interaction
potentials through continuously probing the energy landscape without discontinuous
instabilities.
