We have studied the large-scale beam breakup and filamentation of femtosecond pulses in a Kerr medium. We have experimentally monitored the formation of stable light filaments, conical emission, and interactions between filaments. Three major stages lead t ...
Patterning with lithographic processes requires processing steps including the use of resist spinning and chemical solvents for the development of resist. These steps cannot be applied to mechanical fragile and bio/chemically functional surface layers such ...
Actin assembly at the leading edge of the cell is believed to drive protrusion, whereas membrane resistance and contractile forces result in retrograde flow of the assembled actin network away from the edge. Thus, cell motion and shape changes are expected ...
Hemodynamic forces affect endothelial cell morphology and function. In particular, circumferential cyclic stretch of blood vessels, due to pressure changes during the cardiac cycle, is known to affect the endothelial cell shape, mediating the alignment of ...
Cultured vascular endothelial cells undergo significant morphological changes when subjected to sustained fluid shear stress. The cells elongate and align in the direction of applied flow. Accompanying this shape change is a reorganization at the intracell ...
We report on the degradation of platinum micro-heating elements operating at high temperatures. Devices with platinum heaters suspended on micro-machined dielectric membranes were self-heated at high temperature until failure. Optical and SEM observations ...
