Sending Droplets from Pillar to Post
Dynamic nano and micropillars are able to transport water droplets across a surface.
Nanorobots: Nanocrystals Make Small Smart
A colloidal nanocrystal layer enables 2D to 3D shape transformations of “hard” inorganic materials.
Biomanufacturing in Zero-G
Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Manipulating Proteins inside Living Cells
Magnetogenetics is a promising approach manipulating cellular functions in tissues and organisms with high spatial and temporal resolution.
Reengineering Red Blood Cells for Cellular Therapeutics and Diagnostics
Red blood cells can be opened and resealed without affecting their functional characteristics, allowing scientists new opportunities in therapeutics and diagnostics.
Particle Micromotors
Magnetically steerable, acid-resistant micromotors are developed that can be fabricated by electrostatic attraction between magnetite nanoparticles and gold microrods at pH ≈ 4.
Spontaneous Formation of Bicolored Janus Particles
Shin-Hyun Kim and his coworkers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a simple method to create bicolored Janus particles via phase separation of polymers in emulsion drops.
Gecko inspires pick-and-place gripper
Cross-linked networks of liquid crystal polymers (LCNs) are used to regulate adhesion through stimuli responsive back-scrolling and self-peeling, to design a multi-legged gecko gripper.
Soft Wheels and Rotary Motors Based on Peristaltic Motion
The Mazzeo Research Group has designed soft motors by combining pneumatically-driven elastomeric structures with peristaltic motion.
