Journal ArticleDOI
Universal mobile electrochemical detector designed for use in resource-limited applications
Alex Nemiroski,Dionysios C. Christodouleas,Jonathan W. Hennek,Ashok A. Kumar,E. Jane Maxwell,M.T. Fernández-Abedul,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +7 more
TL;DR: An inexpensive, handheld device that couples the most common forms of electrochemical analysis directly to “the cloud” using any mobile phone, for use in resource-limited settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of Mixed Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) That Resist Adsorption of Proteins Using the Reaction of Amines with a SAM That Presents Interchain Carboxylic Anhydride Groups
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for preparing mixed self-assembled monolayers (mixed SAMs) on gold that resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins from solution was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contact Angles for Liquid Drops at a Model Heterogeneous Surface Consisting of Alternating and Parallel Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic Strips
TL;DR: In this article, a model heterogeneous surfaces consisting of alternating and parallel 255 μm hydrophobic and 245 μm hyrophilic strips were prepared on a gold film by patterning self-assembled monolayers of hexadecanethiol and mercaptohexadecanoic acid using an elastomer stamp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of high carbon materials from acetylenic precursors. Preparation of aromatic monomers bearing multiple ethynyl groups
TL;DR: Synthese a partir d'halogeno benzenes, -thiophenes, ou -thiazoles et de trimethyl ethynyl silane catalysee par l'iodure de cuivre I et le complexe (PhCN) 2 PdCl 2
Journal ArticleDOI
Buckling of Elastomeric Beams Enables Actuation of Soft Machines
Dian Yang,Bobak Mosadegh,Bobak Mosadegh,Alar Ainla,Ben Charles Germain Lee,Fatemeh Khashai,Zhigang Suo,Katia Bertoldi,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +9 more
TL;DR: Soft, pneumatic actuators that buckle when interior pressure is less than exterior provide a new mechanism of actuation that can be used in devices that manipulate objects, locomote, or interact cooperatively with humans.
