Intracellular delivery is a key step in biological research and has enabled decades of
biomedical discoveries. It is also becoming increasingly important in industrial and medical …

Biological systems respond to and communicate through biophysical cues, such as
electrical, thermal, mechanical and topographical signals. However, precise tools for …

Modern computation based on von Neumann architecture is now a mature cutting-edge
science. In the von Neumann architecture, processing and memory units are implemented …

Robots have components that work together to accomplish a task. Colloids are particles,
usually less than 100 µm, that are small enough that they do not settle out of solution …

There is a rapidly growing demand to use silicon and silicon nitride (Si_3N_4) integrated
photonics for sensing applications, ranging from refractive index to spectroscopic sensing …

Blood contains a range of protein biomarkers that could be used in the early detection of
disease. To achieve this, however, requires sensors capable of detecting (with high …

Development, homeostasis and regeneration of tissues result from a complex combination
of genetics and mechanics, and progresses in the former have been quicker than in the …

We demonstrate an 80-μm-thick film (which is around 15% of the thickness of the human
epidermis), which is a highly sensitive hybrid functional gauge sensor and was fabricated …

Cells respond to mechanical forces by activating specific genes and signaling pathways that
allow the cells to adapt to their physical environment. Examples include muscle growth in …

Mammary tumor organoids have become a promising in vitro model for drug screening and
personalized medicine. However, the dependency on the basement membrane extract …
