Fabrication of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microarray devices using spin coating by Tan, Doyle Poh Choon

“…The homemade spin coater is proven to fabricate a 5 micrometre (μm) thick membrane through a cost-efficient process. Cells are seeded into the microarray devices and the results concluded that a 20 μm hole diameter or less would prevent cells or allow a few cells from falling onto the lower layer.…”

Collision avoidance algorithm for UAVs with MATLAB by Chan, Boone-Wy

“…By selecting random points within the boundaries of a search space and attempting to grow the tree to these points, the algorithm is able to effectively search the environment and eventually plot a collision-free path from an initial seed location to a desired goal location. RRT* is an optimised version of the conventional RRT algorithm, capable of producing a smoother and shorter path to the destination location. …”

Precision synthesis : designing hot spots over hot spots via selective gold deposition on silver octahedra edges by Hegde, Ravi S., Tjiu, Weng Weei, Cui, Yan, Ling, Xing Yi, Liu, Yejing, Pedireddy, Srikanth, Lee, Yih Hong

“…Here, the synthesis of designer nanoparticles, where plasmonic-active Au nanodots are selectively deposited onto the edge/tip hot spot regions of Ag nanoparticles, is demonstrated using a two-step seed-mediated precision synthesis approach. Such a “hot spots over hot spots” strategy leads to an efficient enhancement of the plasmonic hot spot volumes on single Ag nanoparticles. …”
