TL;DR: It is demonstrated that kidney podocytes show marked stiffness sensitivity and the utility of the gelatin-mTG platform as an in vitro system with tunable stiffness over a range relevant for recapitulating mechanical properties of soft tissues is highlighted, suggesting its potential impact on a wide range of research in cellular biophysics.

TL;DR: These measurements reveal asymmetric IV-characteristics and the presence of a quantum dot (QD) with approximately 60 meV charging energy and approximately 75 meV level spacing on a carbon nanotube heterojunctions formed between semiconducting and metallic nanotubes of known chiralities.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, the quantitative effect of these barriers on long-range lipid diffusion could be accurately simulated using a simple, continuum-based model of diffusion on a nanostructured surface and a metamaterial is described that captures the properties of the outer membrane of living cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cavity-enhanced absorption, hot photoluminescence emission, and Raman scattering of the monolayer graphene were investigated using chip-integrated nanophotonic devices.

TL;DR: A phase-field model is reported on, where the effects of oxygen on the number of nuclei, the energetics at the growth front, and the graphene island morphology on Cu are included, to guide the efficient growth of large single-crystal graphene of high quality.
