Author(s)
Francisco J. Atencia, Gregory A. Cooksey, Andreas Jahn, Justin M. Zook, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Laurie E. Locascio
We present a new type of connector based on a simple idea: using a ring magnet on one side of the microfluidic chip and a disc magnet on the other side to...

Heat release and structural collapse of flexible polyurethane foam

Author(s)
Roland H. Kraemer, Mauro Zammarano, Gregory T. Linteris, Ulf W. Gedde, Jeffrey W. Gilman
Flexible polyurethane foam used in upholstered furniture remains one of the major fire hazards to date. The heat release rate of burning items made of foam...

Nanofiber Supported Phospholipid Bilayers

Author(s)
Feng Yi, Jian Xu, David A. LaVan
This work reports on the creation and characterization of nanofiber supported bilayers to mimic the hydrodynamic, chemical and mechanical environment provided...

Molecular transistors scrutinized

Author(s)
James G. Kushmerick
Transistors have been made from single molecules, where the flow of electrons is controlled by modulating the energy of the molecular orbitals. Insight from...
