Conventional map underlays are automatically adjusted so that they could be read through touch after being printed on microcapsule paper, which opens a whole new perspect...

We demonstrated a microwell array-based microfluidic system, allowing in situ analysis of the lipid content of individual microalgal cells in alginate hydrogel microcapsules. Alginate hydrogel microcapsules with a mean diameter of 26 μm, which encapsulate a single microalga stained with nondestructive lipophilic green fluorescent dye, BODIPY 505/515, were successfully docked inside the microwel...
