Elastomeric 3D‐Printed Microenvironments Enable Nanonewton Force Measurements in Healthy and Diseased Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Neuroepithelial Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...

Socio-Demographic Profile and Risky Behavior Pattern of Patients Registered at Art Centre, Patiala, Punjab

open access: yesNational Journal of Community Medicine, 2016
Background: The HIV epidemic in India shows declining trend overall. After the start of free ART treatment in 2003, ART centres are increasing in phased manner in the country, which transformed the common perception about HIV from being a “virtual death

Breaking the Surface: Buoyant Metal–Polymer Open–Cell Hybrid Lattice Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Open‐cell metal–polymer lattice metamaterials that defy sinking. (a) Injection process of the polyurethane (PU) foam into the titanium (Ti‐6Al‐4V) hollow‐strut lattice creating the open‐cell Ti‐6Al‐4V+PU hybrid lattice, (b) flotation test of a hybrid lattice specimen, and (c) a digital representation and experimental validation of a marine buoy ...

When Heterosexual Identity is Questioned: Stifling Suspicion Through Public Displays of Heterosexual Identity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This study examined public heterosexual identity management practices of heterosexual-identified young adults in the United States. Analysis of 415 participants’ written narratives indicated that 41% (n = 169) described consciously engaging in public ...

TESCLA: A Fully Soft Electromagnetic Linear Actuator With Continuous Bending Enabled by Liquid‐Metal Solenoids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
TESCLA (tubular electromagnetic soft conformal linear actuator) combines liquid‐metal solenoids and compliant magnetic composites to achieve large‐stroke bidirectional actuation with continuous bending. Integrated inductance‐based self‐sensing enables proprioceptive position estimation without external sensors, providing a versatile platform for soft ...

Fast Hydrogel Micro‐Actuators Driven by Electric Fields

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report the fabrication of chemically programmable electroactuating microstructures through the first integration of two‐photon polymerization with electrically actuated gelatin methacrylate‐based hydrogels. By tailoring the charge of the polymer network, we demonstrate programmable polarity‐dependent bending, enabling microstructures that ...

Upscaling the Fabrication of Rod‐Shaped Microgels: A Microfluidic Method Combining Step‐Emulsification With Consecutive Droplet Confinement in Parallelized Microchannels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A microfluidic method is presented which enables parallelized fabrication of rod‐shaped microgels, based on step‐emulsification (SE) droplet generation and subsequent droplet distribution and confinement, combined in a single device. Microgel rods are fabricated in parallel at different flow rates based on two light‐mediated crosslinking chemistries ...

Comparing Sociosexual Orientation in Matched Groups of Heterosexual and Homosexual Men

open access: yes, 2019
Sociosexual orientation reflects individual differences in willingness to engage in uncommitted sexual relations. Comparisons of sociosexual orientation of heterosexual and homosexual men could be hampered by person variables that differ systematically ...

Current‐Induced Domain Wall Dynamics in Pt/Co/Ni/Co Nanoribbons With Curvilinear Cross‐Sections

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
3D curvilinear magnetic racetrack nanoribbons are formed with concave and convex cross‐sections using an advanced multi‐photon 3D printer. The curvature is shown to strongly affect current‐induced domain wall motion along the nanoribbons. In nanoribbons with cross‐sections that have both concave and convex segments, the velocities of domain walls with ...

Poly(Alkoxythiophene) Rod‐Coil Block Copolymers for Organic Electrochemical Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present the first synthesis of poly(3‐alkoxythiophene) rod‐coil block copolymers as a new architecture for OMIECs. Incorporating PEG and PLLA coils can enhance device performance beyond the homopolymer. The figure‐of‐merit depends uniquely on coil length.
