Identification of crystalline structures of clathrate hydrates during molecular simulations using machine learning
Molecular simulation is a powerful tool that links a system’s microscopic behaviour to its macroscopic observable features. The data obtained from a molecular simulation act as a digital microscope, i.e., it contains ...
Computational study of membrane driven secondary structural changes in proteins
Conformational changes in proteins, the most abundant biomolecule found in all living organisms, are ubiquitous and triggered by several factors essential for protein function. Protein conformational changes typically occur ...
Understanding the interplay between immune response and virus evolution
RNA viruses are the underlying cause of many human diseases, including the common cold, influenza, dengue fever, and COVID-19. Their ability to evolve rapidly makes them challenging to tackle, resulting in public health ...
Platinum overlayers characterization and fabrication via self-terminating electrodeposition
Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel for the future. However, despite its perception as a “zero-carbon” energy carrier, fossil fuels remain the primary feedstocks for hydrogen production, involving significant ...
Advancements in Nucleic Acid Lateral Flow Assay
In recent decades, the demand for rapid and precise nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs)
has grown significantly, driven by the need to address pandemics like COVID-19 and diagnose
infectious diseases such as ...
Paper-Based Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tools: Electrokinetic Nucleic Acid Extraction and Saliva-Based Glucose Detection for Diabetes Monitoring
Currently, we face a global challenge posed by the dual burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Low-and middle-income countries are disproportionately overburdened by ...
Synthesis of Monodispersed Pdms Microspheres of Tunable Modulus Using Droplet Microfluidics and Study of the Rheology of Dense Suspensions of Rigid and Soft Particles in Shear Flow
We report the synthesis of monodispersed PDMS microspheres of tuneable modulus using a droplet-based microfluidics approach. Nevertheless, polymer microspheres can be used as a model representative particle to mimic the ...
Novel Microfluidic Tools for Multiplex Colorimetric Detection of Analytes and Point Mutation Detection in Infectious Pathogens
Recently, the need for affordable point-of-care tests has grown exponentially. An ideal point of
care (POC) test or device should satisfy the WHO-endorsed ASSURED criteria, meaning that the
test/device should be accessible, ...
Rheology of dense non-Brownian suspensions
Suspensions are ubiquitous in nature and industry, ranging from magma, blood, and mud to cement, paint, and molten chocolate. Despite the Newtonian nature of the suspending fluid and the expectation of linearity in the ...
Gravity flow of granular materials through a vertical channel
Grains and powders are the second most widely used materials in industries
and daily life after simple fluids. There are a variety of granular materials such
as food grains, detergents, tablets and capsules, fertilizers, ...
