Passive and Deterministic Droplet Microfluidics for Single Object Encapsulation and Pairing

The single-cell study, which dissects cell-cell heterogeneity from bulk populations, is of growing attention and importance in biological studies and clinical practices. At the core of the single-cell analysis is the efficient cell isolation and constructi ...

Cavitation induced by pulsed and continuous-wave fiber lasers in confinement

Christophe Moser, Jan Krizek

Bubbles generated with lasers in liquids under confinement have been investigated for their potential use as the driving mechanism for liquid micro-jets in various microfluidic devices, such as needle-free jet injectors. Here, we report on the study of bub ...

Dendrimer-Based Coatings on a Photonic Crystal Surface for Ultra-Sensitive Small Molecule Detection

Serguei Sekatski

We propose and demonstrate dendrimer-based coatings for a sensitive biochip surface that enhance the high-performance sorption of small molecules (i.e., biomolecules with low molecular weights) and the sensitivity of a label-free, real-time photonic crysta ...

Miniaturised, Wireless and Distributed Neural Interface Toward Cortical Visual Prosthesis

Gian Luca Barbruni

Over the last decades, implantable neural interfaces have been extensively explored and effectively deployed to address neurological and mental health disorders. The existing solutions present several limitations. Firstly, the physical size of the implanta ...

Dynamic control of high-voltage actuator arrays by light-pattern projection on photoconductive switches

Herbert Shea, Amir Firouzeh, Vesna Bacheva, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy, Aiste Balciunaite

The ability to control high-voltage actuator arrays relies, to date, on expensive microelectronic processes or on individual wiring of each actuator to a single off-chip high-voltage switch. Here we present an alternative approach that uses on-chip photoco ...

Microfluidic device combining hydrodynamic and dielectrophoretic trapping for the controlled contact between single micro-sized objects and application to adhesion assays

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

The understanding of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions via receptor and ligand binding relies on our ability to study the very first events of their contact. Of particular interest is the interaction between a T cell receptor and its cognate peptide-m ...

Single emulsion drops for photocatalytic water splitting as a membrane-free approach to product separation

Sophia Haussener, Esther Amstad, Swarnava Nandy, Sangram Ashok Savant, Gaia De Angelis

The coevolution of hydrogen and oxygen during photocatalytic water splitting presents a challenge for efficient product separation. Here, we demonstrate membrane-free, drop-based photocatalytic water splitting with inherent product separation and competiti ...

Bacterial colonization in realistic environments: how mechanics impact biofilm formation in the wild and during infection

Tamara Rossy

A variety of physical inputs acts onto bacteria in nature. However, these are most often ignored in the studies of their physiology. There is now increasing evidence indicating that bacteria respond to physical stimuli, including mechanical forces. Yet, qu ...

Radiation Hardness of MALTA2, a Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor for Tracking Applications

Edoardo Charbon, Ashish Sharma, Francesco Piro

MALTA is a depleted monolithic active pixel sensor (DMAPS) developed in the Tower Semiconductor 180-nm CMOS imaging process. Monolithic CMOS sensors offer advantages over current hybrid imaging sensors in terms of both increased tracking performance due to ...

Programmable frequency-bin quantum states in a nano-engineered silicon device

Matteo Galli, Marco Clementi

Frequency-bin qubits get the best of time-bin and dual-rail encodings, but require external modulators and pulse shapers to build arbitrary states. Here, instead, the authors work directly on-chip by controlling the interference of biphoton amplitudes gene ...
