A group of scientists led by the University of Sydney has fabricated a perovskite solar cell that utilizes a substrate made of steel instead of glass. “The advantage of being flexible and conductive ...

Morphogenesis, tumor formation, and wound healing are regulated by tissue rigidity. Focal adhesion behavior is locally regulated by stiffness; however, how cells globally adapt, detect, and respond to ...

The world’s first transparent thin-film solar cell has been created by a research team under the direction of Dr. Jung-dae Kwon from the Department of Energy & Electronic Materials at the Korea ...

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory have fabricated a III-V gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cell based on a substrate made of spalled GaAs. The cost of ...

Regenerative medicine uses cells harvested from the patient's own body to heal damaged tissue. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a cell-free substrate containing proteins to which autologous cells ...

ECISTM (Electric Cell-Substrate Impedance Sensing) is the only commercially available technology which continuously monitors TEER under dynamic flow conditions. In their natural environment, ...

Mechanics plays a fundamental role in cell biology. Cells navigate these mechanical forces to explore their environments and sense the behaviour of surrounding living cells. The physical ...

While many of the stages of the cell-mediated immune response are known, the mechanisms by which various white blood cells can specifically bind (and release) to initiation proteins are not as well ...

Engineering experts have proposed a novel technique to measure the cell traction force field and tackle the research gap. The interdisciplinary research team used single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...
