Article Synopsis
  • - Laser-based mid-IR photothermal spectroscopy (PTS) is a rapid and sensitive analytical method that utilizes advanced laser technology to capture the absorption characteristics of various materials, such as liquids or solids.
  • - This study utilizes an external cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) to analyze a thin film of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) on a silicon nitride micro-ring resonator, demonstrating its effectiveness in creating an on-chip photothermal sensor.
  • - The research highlights the optimal alignment and focusing techniques for the laser setup, showing that PTS can lead to compact, efficient sensors suitable for real-time monitoring in industrial applications.

Microfluidics have revolutionized cell culture by allowing for precise physical and chemical environmental control. Coupled with electrodes, microfluidic cell culture can be activated or have its changes sensed in real-time. We used our previously developed reliable and stable microfluidic device for cell growth and monitoring to design, fabricate, and characterize a whole-channel impedance-based sensor and used it to systematically assess the electrical and electrochemical influences of microfluidic channel boundaries coupled with varying electrode sizes, distances, coatings, and cell coverage.

Insect wing surfaces have nano- and microscale features that enable multi-functionality. Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) are unique in that they produce and excrete nanoscale particles, called brochocosomes, that are spread onto the integument by the insect. Brochosomes are extra-cuticular, removable, and make the integument both superhydrophobic and anti-reflective, 2 greatly desired properties in engineering and material science fields.
