Nanosystems operating in liquid media may suffer from random Brownian motion due to thermal fluctuations. Biomolecular motors exploit these random fluctuations to generate a controllable directed movement. Inspired by nature, we proposed and realized a nano-system based on Brownian motion of nanobeads for linear transport in microfluidic channels. The channels limit the degree-of-freedom of the...

We investigated the effect of bias voltage and carrier gas on hydrogen sensing performance tungsten oxide nanobeads. The nanobeads were prepared by a template-assisted method followed calcination. porous single walled carbon nanotube thin film was used as sacrificed template for deposition tungsten, thermal calcination at high temperature to oxidize W into WO3 burn out template. crystal structu...

The ability of a wide span characterization and analytical tools to provide reliable, quantitative data for monitoring the efficiency photocatalysis in mineralization calibrated polystyrene nanobeads was studied. Both slurry immobilized reaction modes were compared, nanoparticles different characteristic sizes used as model compounds developing suited methodological approach. We demonstrated th...

There is an increasing need to develop novel bioassay methods for low-cost, rapid, and easy-to-use multiplex detection of pathogens in various fields ranging from human infectious disease diagnosis, drinking water quality control, to food safety applications. Due to their unique advantages, magnetic and optomagnetic bioassay principles are particularly promising for biodetection platforms that ...

INTRODUCTION Previous studies highlight a complex relationship between lineage and phenotype for adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs), adipose stem cells (ASCs), and adipocytes, suggesting a high degree of plasticity of these cells. In the present study, using a novel co-culture system, we further characterized the interaction between ATMs, ASCs and adipocytes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Human ...
