Tactile Perception through Fluid-Solid Interaction
Arman Goshtasbi, Minke Berghuis, Aida Parvaresh +3
Soft tactile sensors elevate robotic touch through enhanced flexibility and adaptability, yet most existing designs depend on embedded electronics that are susceptible to interfere…
Extracting hydrogel properties by watching hydrogel particles moving through solid ice
Yanxia Feng, Se-Hyeong Jung, Camillo Sirvinski +4
Strikingly, when hydrogel particles are embedded in ice in a temperature gradient, they move through the solid ice towards warmer temperatures, while swelling as they warm up. This…
IceCAPA: patterning particles and microorganisms at a freezing front
Isabelle M. Feller, Jakob Paulsen, Muriel Scherer +2
The ability to precisely pattern micro- and nano-scale objects on surfaces is important for a range of different applications. For example, colloidal patterning has been used to cr…
Hydrogel mechanics below swelling equilibrium
A. Chao Correas, Y. Feng, R. W. Style +1
Hydrogels are versatile soft materials whose behavior arises from complex polymer-network-fluid interactions. Combining theory and experiments, we show that their mechanics simplif…
Label-free quantitative imaging of two-dimensional concentration gradients using Fabry-Pérot interferometry
Taieesa Peshkovsky, Stefan Andreas Schmid, David Taylor +3
Concentration gradients at the microscale play a central role in many physical, chemical, and biological systems, yet their quantitative visualization remains challenging due to th…
Controlling polymerization-induced phase separation in the synthesis of porous gels
Yanxia Feng, Noel Ringeisen, Eric R. Dufresne +2
Porous gels -- gels with solvent-filled pores that are much larger than their mesh size -- are widely used in engineering and biomedical applications due to their tunable mechanics…
