Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a popular technique to fabricate scaffolds for tissue engineering because of its ability to produce complex tissue-like architectures. Scaffolds are often 3D printed using biodegradable polymers like poly(caprolactone)
Label-free spectromicroscopy methods offer the capability to examine complex cellular phenomena. Electron and X-ray based spectromicroscopy methods, though powerful, have been hard to implement with hydrated objects due to vacuum incompatibility of the

X-ray standing wave and x-ray diffraction meaurements were used to determine the structure of nominal 1 monolayer and monolayer InAs films buried in GaAs(001). The films were grown by atomic layer epitaxy using trimethylgallium, tertiarybutylarsine and
In artifical joint systems, wear particles generated during the life of the replacement have been associated with Osteolysis and prosthetic loosening. The morphology of the wear particles varies according to different articulating geometry, material pairs

Experimental data obtained for PBFe 1/2Ta 1/20 3 (PFT) and NaNbO 3:Gd (NaNbGd) single crystals show a diffused dielectric permittivity peak that is inherent to relaxor ferroelectrics. However some deviations from the normal relaxor properties were also
A 3D finite element model is constructed to simulate the local impact and its aftermath.For a given design of the disk structure with known elastic/plastic and damage properties as well as the slider s design with its surface texture, the model predicts
