We are working on a microfabricated lysing chip that uses a piezoelectric actuator to provide ultrasonic energy to break apart cells. The device contains pillars with varying dimensions. We hypothesize that increasing the aspect ratio of pillars will increase the efficiency of the ... Read More
In this work, an electrostatic diaphragm micropump is investigated by means of COMSOL Multiphysics®. A fluid-dynamic model is adopted to evaluate the fluid flow characteristics inside the pumping chamber, in static conditions. In parallel, electromechanical quasi-static simulations ... Read More
The Leidenfrost effect occurs when a droplet approaches a surface with a temperature much hotter than the boiling point of the liquid. Here, the underside of the droplet is instantly vapourised, allowing it to sit on a cushion of its own vapour, which grants the droplet virtually ... Read More
: One of the most commonly used techniques for quantification of beating forces exerted by cardiomyocytes is culturing them on a bed of vertical microcantilevers or microposts. The position of the microcantilevers is observed through advanced imaging techniques and the displacements are ... Read More
Using advanced computational fluid dynamics software PumpLinx and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, a virtual product development environment was established for the electro-hydraulic power steering pump system in a passenger vehicle. The model built with the COMSOL Multiphysics® ... Read More
The ever-growing complexity of samples which need to be processed in e.g., environmental and biomedical/biochemical research, demand higher efficiencies of analytical techniques. Liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectrometry, among others, are analytical techniques that revolutionized ... Read More
Microalgae biomass is an essential part of the global ecosystem. Not only is it responsible for 50% of the global oxygen but also proved to be useful in the development of organic polymers, antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, and feedstocks for aquatic animals. It is considered as an ... Read More
The biological hair-cell is a modular building block of a rich variety of biological sensors. These sensors are responsive to various mechanical properties like vibration, touch, gravitational forces, etc., especially flow. Using micro and nano-fabrication technology, an engineering ... Read More
Venovenous extracorporeal life support (VV-ECLS) provides gas exchange support for severe lung failure by using an extracorporeal circuit consisting of a blood pump and an artificial membrane lung. Blood is withdrawn from a cannula placed into the inferior vena cava, and returned from ... Read More
Semi-aerobic landfill has interesting structure that passively provides the atmospheric oxygen into landfilled waste due to the heat convection generated by the decomposition of landfilled waste. There are limited studies on the mechanisms of the oxygen transport. This paper presents the ... Read More
