Surface Plasmon Resonance Permits in Situ Measurement of Protein Adsorption on Self-Assembled Monolayers of Alkanethiolates on Gold

Milan Mrksich, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy was used to measure the nonspecific adsorption of proteins to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold in situ and in real time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microoxen: Microorganisms to move microscale loads

Douglas B. Weibel, +6 more
- 23 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: This study presents a method for harnessing the power produced by biological motors that uses intact cells and uses unicellular, biflagellated algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as "microoxen".
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterned condensation figures as optical diffraction gratings

Amit Kumar, +1 more
- 07 Jan 1994 - 
TL;DR: This experimental technique may be useful in the development of new types of optical sensors that respond to their environment by changing the reflectivity of patterned regions and for studying phenomena such as drop nucleation, contact angle hysteresis, and spontaneous dewetting and break-up of thin liquid films.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterning Mammalian Cells Using Elastomeric Membranes

Emanuele Ostuni, +4 more
- 30 Aug 2000 - 
TL;DR: This strategy of membrane-based patterning, given the acronym MEMPAT for brevity, offers a more convenient way for patterning cells on surfaces and for studying cell spreading than existing methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paper-Based Electrical Respiration Sensor.

Firat Güder, +8 more
- 04 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: A paper-based moisture sensor that uses the hygroscopic character of paper to measure patterns and rate of respiration by converting the changes in humidity caused by cycles of inhalation and exhalation to electrical signals, providing a new, practical method of recording and analyzing patterns of breathing.
