Towards a Better Understanding of the Interaction between Phagocytic Immune Cells and Synthetic Particulates
Particulate technology has transformed the field of diagnostic and therapeutic medicine due to the ability of particulates to provide better contrast in various imaging modalities and improve the targeting of therapeutic ...
Compositionality of letter shape in word recognition
As you read this sentence, your brain just performed a miraculous task of converting collections of letter shapes into meaning. Reading is a cultural invention that is thought to exploit the intrinsic recognition abilities ...
Internal Boiling to Flame Flickering: Insights into Various Spatio-temporal Dynamics of Nanofuel Droplet Combustion
Addition of metal and metalloid particles (micron and sub-micron) to conventional fuels like Jet-A has been a ‘liquid-fuel extender’ technique i.e. increased specific energy for less amount of liquid fuels. One of the main ...
Density Stratified Thermal Energy Storage System and Associated Fluid Dynamic Perturbations
The hunger of humankind for energy has reached unprecedented levels with the ever-rising industrialization and global population surge. We are witnessing a global economic evolution towards a clean, affordable, sustainable ...
Raman Microspectroscopic Studies on Differentiating Bacteria, Detecting Antimicrobial Resistance and Delineating Biomarkers of Sepsis
Over the last few decades, the development of several new techniques as well as sophisticated instruments have contributed to a better understanding of biological systems. Among these, Raman spectroscopy has emerged as an ...
Two-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Chemiresistive Gas Sensors: Towards Development of Breath based Diagnostics
Breath based Diagnostics (BbD) can enable a paradigm shift in the Point-of-Care Diagnostic (PoCD) devices. Exhaled human breath has been demonstrated to contain over 2000 volatile organic and inorganic compounds, some of ...
Applications of Magnetic Helical Nanomotors: From Cancer Biology to Dentistry
Micron/nano sized machines promise precise targeting and drug-delivery at hard to reach places inside the human body. There have been tremendous efforts in this direction and various remotely powered artificial nanomachines ...
Engineering Disease Models for Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Tissues
Biomedical research aims to gain deeper insights into the mechanisms of human pathophysiology to develop improved therapies and diagnostics. Despite significant advances made in the understanding and treatment of human ...
Steady state properties of discrete and continuous models of nonequilibrium phenomena
The understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena, of fundamental importance in statistical
physics, has great implications for many physical, chemical, and biological systems. Such
phenomena are observed almost everywhere ...
Investigations on Joule Heating and Associated Effects during Liquid Dielectrophoresis of Aqueous Droplets
Liquid dielectrophoresis (L-DEP) is an electrokinetic phenomenon in which a dielectric liquid with higher permittivity than the surrounding medium, when placed in a non-uniform electric field, moves towards the regions of ...
