A Micro Cantilever-based Pathogen Detector
Weeks B.L., Camarero J., Noy A., Miller A.E., Stanker L., De Yoreo J.J., Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US
Increasing efforts have been put into the developments of cantilever-based micro sensors. These devices show fast responses, high sensitivity, and are suitable for mass production. Currently, they are mainly applied for quality and process control, [...]
Modeling the Interaction between Bristle Elastic Structures and Fluids
Botkin N.D., Hoffmann K-H, Starovoitov V.N., Turova V.L., Center of Advanced European Studies and Research, DE
The interaction of a solid multi-layered structure with a fluid is studied. Such a problem arises when modeling HPSW sensors operating in liquids. The surface of HPSW biosensors is covered by specific receptors called aptamers. [...]
Electrically Triggered Hydrogels: Mathematical Models and Simulations
Environmentally sensitive hydrogels have enormous potential in various applications. Ionic polymer gels have been shown to respond to a number of different stimuli like pH and electric field. One of the major advantages of electro-responsive [...]
MEMS for Drug Screening Applications
MEMs offer a quick, low cost method for screening new drugs. In this MEMs application, microbeams were designed such that an affinity between the beam surface (coated with a biomolecule) and a second biomolecule (simulating [...]
Modeling AFM Induced Mechanical Deformation of Living Cells
One challenge with using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for recognition microscopy on living cells is the fact that the cell is not rigid, and as the force is applied to a receptor site, it is [...]
