Abstract: The elasticity of soft biological materials is a critical property to understand their biomechanical behaviors. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation method has been widely employed to measure the Young's modulus (E) ...

Abstract: Various methods have been developed to generate monodisperse drops of a dispersed phase (DP) liquid in an immiscible continuous phase (CP) liquid, which include the membrane emulsification method and the microfluidic drop ...

Abstract: Microfluidic devices are utilized to mechanically stimulate cells for cellular mechanobiology studies. Previously, we developed a microfluidic cell compressor using photolithography and soft lithography. The device had ...

Abstract: Coherent structures are critical for controlling turbulent boundary layers due to their roles in momentum and heat transfer in the flow. Turbulent coherent structures can be detected by measuring wall shear stresses that ...
