Cardiac‐Derived ECM Microspheres for Enhanced hiPSC‐CMs Maturation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cardiac extracellular matrix microspheres derived from decellularized porcine heart provide a biomimetic 3D microenvironment for human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). This platform supports short‐ and long‐term culture, enhances structural organization, and promotes electrophysiological and functional maturation of ...

Acoustic-Birefringence-Induced Orthogonal Acousto-Optic Gratings in Grapefruit Microstructured Fibers

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2013
The acousto-optic mode coupling in grapefruit microstructured optical fibers (GMOFs) has been investigated. Due to the presence of grape-like large air holes in the fiber cladding, unequal acoustic modulation is generated, and orthogonal acoustic ...

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Polarimetric Sensitivity to Torsion in Spun Highly Birefringent Fibers

Sensors, 2019
We report on experimental studies of polarimetric sensitivity to torsion in spun highly birefringent fibers. Two classes of spun fibers were examined, namely spun side-hole fibers and birefringent microstructured fibers with different birefringence ...

Scalable Polyelectrolyte Complex‐Based Sorbent With Hourly Sorption−Desorption Cycles for Multicyclic Atmospheric Water Harvesting in Arid Environments

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A polyelectrolyte complex‐based sorbent is produced by scalable, environmentally benign aqueous phase inversion. Its porous, LiCl‐ and GO‐integrated architecture enables hourly adsorption−desorption cycles at low relative humidity (RH < 30%). A large‐scale prototype achieves multicyclic, solar‐driven atmospheric water harvesting of 1.37 L kg−1 day−1 ...

Single Longitudinal Mode Optofluidic Microring Laser Based on a Hollow-Core Microstructured Optical Fiber

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
A single longitudinal mode microring dye laser based on a simplified hollow-core microstructured optical fiber (SHMOF) is proposed and demonstrated. The dye laser uses a submicron thickness silica microring embedded in the SHMOF as resonator and has the ...

Femtosecond Neodymium-doped microstructure fiber laser

Optics Express, 2005
We demonstrate femtosecond operation of a Nd-doped mi-crostructure fiber laser. The fiber provides gain and anomalous dispersion at the lasing wavelength of 1.06 microm and enables the construction of short and simple cavity designs. The laser is passively mode-locked by the combined action of a saturable absorber mirror, fiber nonlinearity, and ...

Mechanoregulatory Effects of Cell‐Scale Microwells on Epithelial Cell Phenotype

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In small polycaprolactone microwells, A549 epithelial cells span well edges, in contrast to cells growing on flat substrates. Focal adhesion sites (yellow) concentrate at topographic boundaries, while cytoskeletal tension (magenta stress fibers) is transmitted to the nucleus (blue), reducing nuclear sphericity.
