Single-cell analysis is essential to improve our understanding of cell functionality from
cellular and subcellular aspects for diagnosis and therapy. Single-cell cultivation is one of …

Temperature is a critical—yet sometimes overlooked—parameter in microfluidics.
Microfluidic devices can experience heating inside their channels during operation due to …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication form between bacteria via small signal molecules
that enables global gene regulation as a function of cell density. We applied a microfluidic …

Here, the study presents a thermally activated cell‐signal imaging (TACSI) microrobot,
capable of photothermal actuation, sensing, and light‐driven locomotion. The plasmonic soft …

Symbiodiniaceae is an important dinoflagellate family which lives in endosymbiosis with reef
invertebrates, including coral polyps, making them central to the holobiont. With coral reefs …

Photosynthetic dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae engage in symbiosis with
scleractinian corals. As coral 'bleaching'is partly governed by the thermal sensitivity of …

Heating a droplet without contamination is desired for the emerging applications of
microfluidic devices in life science and materials science, especially in the form of …

Spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) is a powerful technique that combines spectroscopic and
electrochemical properties to investigate the redox potential and spectral characterization of …

In this article, vernier effect (VE), which is an effective method to enhance the measurement
sensitivity of strain and temperature, was experimentally studied through cascading a Mach …

Traditional methods of cultivating polyps are costly and time-consuming. Microfluidic chip
technology makes it possible to study coral polyps at the single-cell level, but most chips can …
