Mechanobiology explores how forces regulate cell behaviors and what molecular machinery are responsible for the sensing, transduction, and modulation of mechanical cues. To this end, probing of cells cultured on planar substrates has served as a prim...
This study focuses on investigating and predicting two hidden structures: plant root system architecture and non-visible bubbles in plexiglass. Current approaches are damaging, expensive, or time-consuming. Infrared imaging was used to study the root...
A compliant three-dimensional (3D)-printed soft gripper is designed based on the bioinspired spiral spring in this study. The soft gripper is then 3D-printed using a suitable thermoplastic filament material to deliver the desired performance. The sen...
