Inference of joule-class THz radiation sources from microchannel targets driven with hundreds of joule, picosecond lasers is reported. THz sources of this magnitude are useful for nonlinear pumping of matter and for charged-particle acceleration and manipulation. Microchannel targets demonstrate increased laser-THz conversion efficiency compared to planar foil targets, with laser energy to THz energy conversion up to ∼0.9 in the best cases.

Monitoring deep wounds is challenging but necessary for high-quality medical treatment. Current methodologies for deep wound monitoring are typically limited to indirect clinical symptoms or costly non-real-time imaging diagnosis. Herein, a smart system is proposed that enables in situ monitoring of deep wounds' status through a semi-implantable device composed of 2 seamlessly connected functional components: 1) the well-designed, microchannel-structured sampling needles that efficiently and conveniently collect samples from deep wound anatomical locations, and 2) the multiplex biochemical testing compartment that facilitates the immediate and persistent detection of multiple biochemical indicators based on a color image processing software accessible to a conventional smartphone.

Transdermal drug delivery presents numerous advantages over conventional administration routes, including non-invasiveness, enhanced patient adherence, circumvention of hepatic first-pass metabolism, self-administration capabilities, controlled release, and increased bioavailability. Nevertheless, the barrier function of stratum corneum limits this strategy to molecules possessing requisite physicochemical attributes. To expand the field of transdermal delivery, researchers have pioneered physical enhancement techniques, with micron-sized needles emerging as a particularly promising platform for the transdermal and intradermal delivery of therapeutic agents across a spectrum of molecular sizes.

Chlorella-Based Biohybrid Microrobot for Removing Both Nutrient and Microalgae toward Efficient Water Eutrophication Treatment.

Nano Lett

December 2024

School of Chemistry, GDMPA Key Laboratory for Process Control and Quality Evaluation of Chiral Pharmaceuticals, South China Normal University, Guangzhou 510006, China.

Excessive nutrients and explosive growth of harmful microalgae in water environments are key challenges in the treatment of eutrophication. The development of a low-cost, time-saving, and small-space-suitable research method that can simultaneously remove nutrients and microalgae is highly anticipated. This work first proposed applying microrobots to eutrophication treatment.

Fractional calculus is emerging as a promising field to overcome the intricacies inherent in biological systems that prevent conventional techniques from producing optimal results. The present research emphasizes the impact of thermal radiation, chemical reactions, and radiation absorption on an electroosmotic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) blood-based Jeffrey hybrid nanofluid flow in a microchannel, employing the novel Caputo-Fabrizio fractional calculus approach. This study is carried out on two models: ramped and constant boundary conditions with distinct zeta potentials.

Separation of Lung Cancer Cells From Mixed Cell Samples Using Aptamer-Modified Magnetic Beads and Permalloy Micromagnets.

Electrophoresis

November 2024

Department of Mechanical Engineering and Advanced Institute of Manufacturing for High-Tech Innovations, National Chung Cheng University, Chia-Yi, Taiwan (ROC).

This study involved the design and fabrication of a microfluidic chip integrated with permalloy micromagnets. The device was used with aptamer-modified magnetic beads (MBs) of various sizes to successfully separate lung cancer cells from a mixture of other cells. The overall separation efficiency was evaluated based on the ratios of cells in the different outlets and inlets of the chip.
