TL;DR: In this article, superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated on silicon by nano-imprint lithography and wet chemical etching, and glass molds were used to imprint a positive photoresist layer.

TL;DR: It is concluded that polydimethylsiloxane nanopillars accelerate and increase neuronal differentiation.

TL;DR: In regular pores formed by vertical and smooth walls, continuous adsorption is found for the first time in agreement with thermodynamic considerations valid for ideal pores, suggesting that irregularities in the walls and pore openings are the key factors behind the hysteresis phenomenon.

TL;DR: A new spin-on alumina-based resist exhibits excellent performance in terms of both achievable lateral resolution and etch resistance in fluorine-based non-cryo-cooled dry etching processes.

TL;DR: Gold is identified as a potential biomaterial candidate with suitable cytocompatibility for ES cell research and lends support to the hypothesis that biomaterial design may optimize ES cell-derived neural differentiation and organisation.
