Nanoscale interfaces made easily

An Easily Made Tissue Culture Perfusion Chamber

A perfusion chamber is described with which a tissue culture can be irrigated successively with different immersion media. Only 1-2 ml. of medium are required for each change, which can be accomplished within 1 minute. Simplicity of design permits speed and economy in manufacture. Perfusion by suction instead of by positive pressure has eliminated certain drawbacks of previous designs. Mixing e...

Nanoscale interfaces to biology.

Nanotechnology has held great promise for revolutionizing biology. The biological behavior of nanomaterials depends primarily on how they interface to biomolecules and their surroundings. Unfortunately, interface issues like non-specific adsorption are still the biggest obstacles to the success of nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine, and have held back widespread practical use of nanotechnology ...

Easily Adding Sound Output to Interfaces

Adding sound output to interfaces is a very difficult task with today’s toolkits, even though there are many situations in which it would be useful and effective. We have designed an architecture that makes it very easy to add sound output to an interface. Any interaction behavior, animation, or command can be augmented with sounds to occur at the beginning or end, or for the duration. Paramete...
