Researchers have shown for the first time that microvehicles can be steered through blood vessels in the brains of mice using ultrasound. They hope that this will eventually lead to treatments capable of delivering drugs with pinpoint precision.
Researchers have succeeded in clarifying the mechanisms of boundary lubrication and making them predictable. This opens a path to new design possibilities for high-performance tribosystems.
Researchers demonstrate a single-molecular Raman switch, which is controlled not only by an applied voltage, but also by optical inputs with different directions.
Leveraging soft electronics and organic-inorganic materials, researchers create a durable artificial retina wrapped around a fiber exhibiting striking similarities to biological vision. This advance opens the door to sensory-enhancing wearable technologies.
Scientists have clarified he detailed physics behind droplet generation in microfluidic post-array devices, gaining important insights into how these small devices can be used to produce uniform emulsions, with potential applications in analytical chemistry and biology, medicine, cosmetics, and materials science.
