Brain organoids enable the mechanistic study of human brain development and provide opportunities to explore self-organization in unconstrained developmental systems1, 2–3. Here we establish long-term, live light-sheet microscopy on unguided brain organoid ...

Tissue phantoms are materials designed to mimic the dielectric properties of biological tissues. This work proposes eco-friendly tissue phantoms of cartilage, cerebrospinal fluid and stomach in the frequency range between 0.4 and 6 GHz. For reaching this p ...

Developing sustainable, recyclable, and biodegradable elastomers with the mechanical properties comparable to commercial polymers presents a formidable challenge. To this end, we synthesize a kind of mechanically robust elastomers cross -linked by acetoace ...

Hydrated lipid bilayer membranes are crucial components of cells and organelles, serving as the outer boundary that separates the cellular components from the extracellular environment. Lipid membranes regulate their structures and functions by dynamically ...

Dielectric elastomer transducers are elastic capacitors that respond to mechanical or electrical stress. They can be used in applications such as millimeter-sized soft robots and harvesters of the energy contained in ocean waves. The dielectric component o ...

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) are elastic capacitors composed of a pair of compliant electrodes and a soft dielectric elastomer film sandwiched in between. This kind of stretchable capacitors can be actuated when charged, can generate electricity fr ...

Volume electron microscopy is an important imaging modality in contemporary cell biology. Identification of intracellular structures is a laborious process limiting the effective use of this potentially powerful tool. We resolved this bottleneck with autom ...

Materials with high dielectric permittivity and dielectric relaxation strength are sought for thermal and pressure sensors and electrical energy generators. However, most polymers have either too low dielectric permittivity or are so polar that their glass ...

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is used to characterize brain tissue microstructure employing tissue-specific biophysical models. A current limitation, however, is that most of the proposed models are based on the assumption of negli ...

Polymers with high dielectric permittivity are promising for the construction of next-generation transducers and energy storage devices with improved energy density. Here, we report the synthesis, glass-transition temperature (T-g), and dielectric properti ...

ER-phagy, literally endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-eating, defines the constitutive or regulated clearance of ER portions within metazoan endolysosomes or yeast and plant vacuoles. The advent of electron microscopy led to the first observations of ER-phagy ove ...

Model materials are precious test cases for elementary theories and provide building blocks for the understanding of more complex cases. Here, we describe the lattice dynamics of the structural phase transition in francisite Cu3Bi(SeO3)(2)O2Cl at 115 K and ...

Electroporation is defined as cell membrane permeabilization under the application of electric fields. The mechanism of hydrophilic pore formation is not yet well understood. When cells are exposed to electric fields, electrical stresses act on their surfa ...

This thesis contributes to the field of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs). DEAs are electrostatically driven soft actuators that are fast, capable of generating large actuation strains, high forces, and present high power density. A wide range of appli ...

We present a new active contour to segment cell aggregates. We describe it by a smooth tessellation that is attracted toward the cell membranes. Our approach relies on subdivision schemes that are tightly linked to the theory of wavelets. The shape is enco ...

We present SIMPLE, a code developed to calculate optical properties of metallic and insulating extended systems using the optimal basis method originally proposed by E.L. Shirley in 1996. Two different approaches for the evaluation of the complex dielectri ...

In this work, we have studied the effect of the dielectric material on the properties of the modes in a smooth metallic gyrotron beam tunnel partially filled with a lossy dielectric material. Two kinds of modes have been identified, one located inside the ...
