‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…The covalent crosslinking of hydroxyethyl methacrylate polymer brushes grafted on quartz surface to wetted tissues were studied following long-range UV light activation. The potential applications of PHEMA polymer brushes through use of UV irradiation as a soft tissue adhesive in wet conditions were demonstrated for the first time. …”

Deciphering the Role of a Coleopteran Steering Muscle via Free Flight Stimulation by Sato, Hirotaka, Vo Doan, Tat Thang, Kolev, Svetoslav, Huynh, Ngoc Anh, Zhang, Chao, Massey, Travis L., van Kleef, Joshua, Ikeda, Kazuo, Abbeel, Pieter, Maharbiz, Michel M.

“…The inability to stimulate in free flight has been a long-standing hurdle for insect flight studies. The miniaturization of computation and communication technologies has delivered ultra-small, radio-enabled neuromuscular recorders and stimulators for untethered insects [ 2–8 ]. …”

Theoretical study of spermatozoa sorting by dielectrophoresis or magnetophoresis with supervised learning by Koh, James Boon Yong

“…This sorting has potential to improve the probability of success for intrauterine insemination, given that pregnancy rates are similar as long as the percentage of normal cells exceed a minimum threshold, even if the initial motile sperm count is under a million. …”
