Living Biosensors: Red‐Blood‐Cell Waveguide as a Living Biosensor and Micromotor (Adv. Funct. Mater. 50/2019)

Resonant waveguide grating biosensor for living cell sensing.

This article presents theoretical analysis and experimental data for the use of resonant waveguide grating (RWG) biosensors to characterize stimulation-mediated cell responses including signaling. The biosensor is capable of detecting redistribution of cellular contents in both directions that are perpendicular and parallel to the sensor surface. This capability relies on online monitoring cell...

Functional nucleic acids biosensors for living or dead bacteria detection

As we known, dead and living bacterial infection represents one of the leading causes of disease and death, and as such, bacterial detection is an important step in managing infectious diseases. However, only living bacteria is detected by traditional methods could due to false negative results; especially there are dormant bacteria, which is really a challenge in the early year. In recent year...

Happiness, coping strategies and social anxiety in adolescents living in family and living in boarding centers

The present study investigates and compare happiness, coping strategies and social anxiety in two groups of adolescents and young families living in centers boarding as well as boys and girls. In this study, 147 boys and girls aged 12 to 18 years, cluster sampling, all available sampling from Tehran and adolescents, the teenagers living in centers boarding houses and city government in Tehran w...

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
