Single cell analysis is the measurement of transcription, translation, regulatory, and
signaling events within individual cells at the molecular level. The goal is to analyze and …

Fascinating pattern formation by quasi-static crack growth in thin films has received
increasing interest in both interdisciplinary science and engineering applications. The paper …

Thermally sprayed coatings are essentially layered materials and contain large numbers of
lamellar pores. It is thus quite necessary to clarify the formation mechanism of lamellar pores …

Cracks are frequently observed in daily life, but they are rarely welcome and are considered
as a material failure mode. Interestingly, cracks cause critical problems in various …

Accurate and sensitive detection of strain generated from biomechanical motion and
metabolism paves the way for diverse biomedical applications, including personalized …

Mechanical instabilities in soft materials have led to the formation of unique surface patterns
such as wrinkles and cracks for a wide range of applications that are related to surface …

Cracks are typically associated with the failure of materials. However, cracks can also be
used to create periodic patterns on the surfaces of materials, as observed in the skin of …

Laser-assisted recovery of on-chip phage viral DNA was demonstrated. Optomechanical
energy conversion was utilized to shear off a part of a microchip and thereby form a …

In this work, the iridium (III) complex 1 was synthesized and employed in constructing an
assay which is based on a G-quadruplex for detecting arsenic ions in aqueous solution. The …

Generally, cracking occurs for many reasons connected to uncertainties and to the non-
uniformity resulting from intrinsic deficiencies in materials or the non-linearity of applied …
