...that the trapped bead can be pulled, stretching or deforming the cell. While others have also used optical tweezers to study the deformation of cells, the forces they've been able to apply are far less than those needed to induce the deformation that cells would experience in the body. The forces obtained by t...From sound analysis to nicotine addiction
...the entire process chain as well as for control of deforming systems. (Coordinator: Prof. Rudolf Kawalla, TU Bergakademie, Technical University of Freiberg) Electrical engineers and communication engineers have joined forces to link research into "Ultrafast radio technology for communication, localisation and...DARPA grant supports research toward realizing tissue regeneration
...he partial or complete loss of digits or limbs and deforming facial injuries have profoundly affected the quality of life of the wounded as well as presented a new set of challenges for the medical community faced with treating them. Recognizing the need for novel approaches that can restore, even partially,......hapes of orthotropic, elliptical plates and shells deforming elastically without initial stresses. The aim is to explore potential bistable configurations and their dependencies on material parameters and initial shape for elucidating novel morphing structures. A strain energy formulation gives way to a compac......arthquakes can modify the Earth's gravity field by deforming the Earth's layers and by changing the density of rocks through dilation and compression of crust and mantle material. Such changes were detected after the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satelli...
