Inspired by tardigrades, they developed a dense grasping structure for a spherical robot and used red blood cell membranes for surface modification to solve the problems of intravascular adhesion, active retention, and resistance to blood-flow effects. This type of microbial bionic research is ...
The sensitivity of Raman spectroscopy can be enhanced through various techniques such as resonance Raman spectroscopy [81], TERS [82,83] or SERS [84]. SERS is particularly interesting since it allows an enhancement of several orders of magnitude of the Raman signal by modifying the surface upon ...
We use d-serine clearance to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. GFR is calculated as clearance, which is the quantity of substances in urine that originated from a calculable volume of blood. For the substance used, the...
Once you identify the problem, the steps to mapping the journey remain the same, but with the added benefit of co-creating solutions with employees. This not only helps model the employee experience more accurately, but ensures employees feel a sense of ownership and investment in the way their...
Fundamentals of PEM fuel cells play a crucial role in the technological advancement to improve fuel cell performance/durability and reduce cost. Several key aspects for fuel cell design, operational control, and material development, such as durability, electrocatalyst materials, water and thermal ...
However, the concept that electromagnetic fields or photons carry momentum led to several problems. For example, the magnitude of radiation pressure is conveniently expressed in the form of momen- tum carried by a single photon46. With this concept well understood in free space46, researchers ...
Sensors utilize a wide spectrum of transducer and signal transformation approaches with corresponding variations in technical complexity. These range from relatively simple temperature measurement based on a bimetallic thermocouple, to the detection of s
In chemistry, biology, medical sciences and pharmaceutical industries, many reactions have to be checked by transporting and mixing expensive liquids. For such purposes, microfluidics systems consisting of closed channels with external pumps have been us
