Journal ArticleDOI

Manipulation of the Wettability of Surfaces on the 0.1 to 1-Micrometer Scale Through Micromachining and Molecular Self-Assembly

Nicholas L. Abbott, +2 more
- 04 Sep 1992 - 
TL;DR: Micromachining allows the formation of micrometer-sized regions of bare gold on the surface of a gold film supporting a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiolate, and hydrophobic lines provide new structures with which to manipulate the shapes of liquid drops.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Trivalent System from Vancomycin·d-Ala-d-Ala with Higher Affinity Than Avidin·Biotin

Jianghong Rao, +8 more
- 01 May 1998 - 
TL;DR: Calorimetric measurements for the trivalent system indicate an approximately additive gain in enthalpy relative to the corresponding monomers, which illustrates the practicality of designing very high-affinity systems based on polyvalency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and self-assembly of open, regular, 3D mesostructures

Tricia L. Breen, +5 more
- 07 May 1999 - 
TL;DR: Self-assembly of appropriately designed chiral pieces generates helices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic control of liquid-core/liquid-cladding optical waveguides.

Daniel B. Wolfe, +7 more
- 24 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: Single-mode and multi-mode waveguiding, switching and tunable evanescent coupling between liquid cores and cladding fluid is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A soft, bistable valve for autonomous control of soft actuators

Philipp Rothemund, +7 more
TL;DR: A soft, elastomeric valve that contains a bistable membrane, which acts as a mechanical “switch” to control air flow, enables a gripper to grasp a ball autonomously and autonomous earthworm-like locomotion using an air source of constant pressure.
