TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate quantitatively the coupling between gradients of temperature and of chemical or water potential under steady state conditions in the vapor phase and show that thermodiffusion coupled to natural convection could explain the small discrepancy observed between measurements and first order theoretical prediction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the entropy-driven monolayer assembly of hexagonal prisms and cylinders was studied under hard slit confinement and Monte Carlo simulations revealed a reentrant melting transition where an intervening disordered Flipped-Unflipped (FUN) phase is sandwiched between a fourfold tetratic phase at high concentrations and a sixfold triangular solid at intermediate concentrations.

TL;DR: The development of oxygen-sensing microfluidic scaffolds are proposed, which meet the challenge to develop an in vitro system where one can control and monitor oxygen concentration in a spatiotemporal manner within a three-dimensional (3-D) cell-seeded tissue scaffold.

TL;DR: In this article, a multimodal sensor includes a microtensiometer for measuring the chemical potential of a sub-saturated liquid, a temperature sensor, and a water content sensor.

TL;DR: A novel scaffold containing closely packed higher density collagen microspheres encased in a lower density collagen bulk was fabricated, which created regularly spaced interfaces of differential densities so as to optimize cellular invasion and neovascularization.
