Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is an integral tool to mitigate the unnecessary use of powerful and broad-spectrum antibiotics that leads to the proliferation of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Using a sensor platform composed of surf...
Medical microrobots (MRs) have been demonstrated for a variety of non-invasive biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and assisted fertilization, among others. However, most of these demonstrations have been carried out i...
Lung cancer has a high mortality rate, but an early diagnosis can contribute to a favorable prognosis. A liquid biopsy that captures and detects tumor-related biomarkers in body fluids has great potential for early-stage diagnosis. Exosomes, nanosize...
Lipid droplet (LD) accumulation, a key feature of foam cells, constitutes an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in atherosclerosis. However, despite advances in cellular imaging techniques, current noninvasive and quantitative methods hav...
Caused by the tick-borne spirochete , Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne infectious disease in North America and Europe. Though timely diagnosis and treatment are effective in preventing disease progression, current tests are insensiti...
Human voice recognition systems (VRSs) are a prerequisite for voice-controlled human-machine interfaces (HMIs). In order to avoid interference from unexpected background noises, skin-attachable VRSs are proposed to directly detect physiological mecha...
Particulate matter (PM) pollution is a significant burden on global economies and public health. Most present air filters are heavy, bulky, and nontransparent and typically have inevitable compromise between removal efficiency and air permeability. W...
Electronic skin (e-skin) uses advanced electronics and sensor arrays to manufacture human-skin-like robotics skin. The creation of e-skin has been made possible due to various physics effects/mechanisms, innovative materials, structural designs, and ...
Micro/nanorobotic systems capable of targeted transporting and releasing hold considerable promise for drug delivery, cellular surgery, biosensing, nano assembling, . However, on-demand precise control of the micro/nanorobot movement remains a major ...
The surface of nanoparticles changes immediately after intravenous injection because blood proteins adsorb on the surface. How this interface changes during circulation and its impact on nanoparticle distribution within the body is not understood. He...
