TINY SYSTEMS FOR GROWING AND STUDYING CELLS
"...We present microfluidic systems for cell growth... [and] for quantitative microinjection of macromolecules and nanoparticles into living cells..."
See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=31.
TUNABLE MICROEDDIES TRAP CELLS
"...We demonstrate the ease of trapping for bubbles, spheres, rod-like debris, non-spherical motile phytoplankton, macrophages, and monocytes in different fluid media..." See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=1215.
GRAPHENE -- THE CARBON FLATLAND.
Andrei Geim, who discovered those two-dimensional carbon sheets known as graphene, will report on the latest findings in this important subject, concentrating on its exotic electronic properties and speculate about potential applications. See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=186.
DIRECT THERMAL IMAGING.
"...Infrared imaging plays a critical role in many applications ranging from night vision, environmental monitoring and astronomy. The paper describes a room-temperature compensated opto-thermo-mechanical un-cooled infrared imaging system with a direct color display..." See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=292
HOW MUCH DO CELLS, PROTEINS, AND NANOPARTICLES WEIGH?
Weighing of biological molecules, individual cells, and single nanoparticles in Fluid may be possible with a new technology known as suspended microc
