The possibility to carry out all operations, also when fully immersed in liquid render the technology ideal
for biological applications at the single cell level.
Why It Matters: The discovery could one day help industrial users «point cool» specific components and help with
biological applications such as studying cells.
Those applications could include sensors
with biological applications, energy storage systems, electrical conducting components and even paper - based electronics.
But like all traditional microscopes, telescopes and cameras, their resolution depends on the size of their lenses, which can be large and heavy and limit their use
in biological applications.
The sorting of individual cells is necessary for
many biological applications, including the isolation of specific cell types from cell suspensions.
Under the influence of Lee Segel, a renowned applied mathematician, I was ushered into the (currently more mainstream) branch of mathematical biology that combines applied mathematics with a keen interest in
true biological applications.
Beyond looking at the dynamics of creating the droplets and how ordered materials behave when the torus transforms into a sphere, Fernandez - Nieves and colleagues are also exploring
potential biological applications, applying electrical fields to the droplets, and sharing the unique structures with scientists at other institutions.
The research team is now exploring
additional biological applications for the new system and is working to extend the method to other microscope modalities, such as confocal microscopy.
Proposals should cite a direct relation
between biological applications and mathematics, and research teams should include representatives from both life sciences and mathematics.
The team's consensus perspective on designing next - generation «smart» nanomaterials for
biological applications originated in discussions at a recent workshop on biomaterials and membranes.
The US teams utilize the unique strengths of ONT's technologies to showcase high -
impact biological applications both independently, as well as with external collaborators and ONT customers.
For work on optical tweezers for
biological applications which use focused laser light to trap and manipulate virus particles, living cells and other biological entities whilst allowing them to maintain viability.
The Klarman Cell Observatory develops and shares these methods with the broader scientific community for
direct biological application through a series of collaborative projects.
Although nature has used the principle of biophotonics to harness light for photosynthesis and to create vision for millennia, it wasn't until about 10 years ago that a substantial transfer of photonics technologies to
biological applications began to transform medical and life sciences.
Biological applications discussed included nanoscale clustering of membrane proteins (particularly during synaptic and T cell signalling in mammalian cells), molecular assembly / organisation of protein complexes, and single particle tracking.
Corresponding author of the study, Qing Wan, from the School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, said: «A paper - based synapse could be used to build lightweight and biologically friendly artificial neural networks, and, at the same time, with the advantages of flexibility and biocompatibility, could be used to create the perfect organism - machine interface for
many biological applications.»
Their results, published this week in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing, report that these nanoscale polymers, which are biocompatible, could have a wide range of
biological applications such as for drug delivery scaffolds or miniature implantable sensors.
«Lens - free fluorescent microscope: FlatScope may be the world's tiniest, lightest microscope
for biological applications and beyond.»
The researchers then explored
the biological applications of their nanocrystals by using them to detect alkaline phosphatases, enzymes that frequently indicate bone and liver diseases.
«The ease of fabrication, light weight and excellent performance of our e-whiskers should have a wide range of applications for advanced robotics, human - machine user interfaces, and
biological applications.»
I have a physics background, oriented to
biological applications and imaging techniques in living samples.
With respect to
biological applications, the group is focusing on how cellular heterogeneity and cell - to - cell communication drive ensemble - level decision - making in the immune system, with an emphasis on «two - body» interaction (e.g., host cell - virus interactions, innate immune control of adaptive immunity, tumor infiltration by immune cells).
Here, he focused on the field of optical super-resolution microscopy, specifically
the biological applications of stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy.
Other forms of 3D printing for
biological applications — such as 3D bioprinting — go beyond such surgical...
Not only does their work demonstrate that scientists have a basic understanding of what determines oligomerization, it also shows that they can design proteins with tunable shape, size, and symmetry for a variety of
biological applications.

Training includes method development specifically tailored for
each biological application.
«I was only remotely aware of using EM for
biological applications.»
It has
its biological applications too, it can show how the veins and arteries are pulsing in our bodies.
