Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

Tunable Tactile Synapses Enabled by Erasable Doping in Iongel‐Gated Nanotube Network Transistors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Artificial tactile synaptic sensors are realized by an iongel‐gated single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) transistor with reversible doping characteristics. The device senses and memorizes tactile stimuli and exhibits gate bias‐dependent excitatory or inhibitory synaptic behavior.

IMPLANTABLE PROSTHESES FOR THE INNER EAR
Proceedings of the Canadian Engineering Education Association (CEEA), 2011 The aim of our research is to develop a proof-of-concept implantable vestibular prosthesis. Such a device would be capable of 6 DOF motion sensing based on MEMS technology, to mimic vestibular functions, and provide stimulus to the brain. In this paper, the feasibility of a vestibular prosthesis is reviewed.

Nano‐Topography Enhanced Topological‐Cell‐Analysis in Radiation‐Therapy
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Radiotherapy, a treatment that implies exposition of cells to radiation, offers promise to treat cancer. Here, it is hypothesized that the nanoscale details of a scaffold can amplify the response of cells to radiation, measured through topological variables, providing ways to assess the efficacy of Radiotherapy treatment.

Cardiac prostheses: toward permanent implantation
Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1984 The pneumatically actuated total artificial heart (TAH) can maintain normal physiology in man and in experimental animals for several months with extracorporeal pneumatic actuation through the skin. The ultimate goal is the development of a totally implantable cardiac prosthesis that functions for a minimum of two years. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation’
