TL;DR: This system can capture some aspects of radiosensitivity of populations of cancer cells related to mass-transport phenomenon, carry out systematic studies of radiation response in vitro that decouple effects from migration and proliferation of cells, and regulate the exposure of oxygen to subpopulations of cells in a tissue-like construct either before or after irradiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the formation of steady gas flows created by point-plane corona discharges driven by time oscillating (ac) electric fields by varying the magnitude and frequency of the applied field, and identified two distinct scaling regimes: (i) a low frequency (dc) regime and (ii) a high frequency (AC) regime.

TL;DR: The compact design, portability, affordability, and simplicity in use of the "axial MagLev" device will broaden the uses of magnetic methods in analyzing, separating, and manipulating different types of samples in areas such as materials sciences, chemistry, and biochemistry.

TL;DR: The measured lift forces were much larger than predictions of deformation-induced and inertial lift forces found in the literature, probably due to physicochemical hydrodynamic effects at the interface of drops and bubbles, such as the presence of surfactants.

TL;DR: Nanoskiving is discussed, which minimizes requirements for access to cleanrooms and associated facilities, and which makes it possible to fabricate nanostructures from materials, and of geometries, to which more familiar methods of nanofabrication are not applicable.
