A protocol that can achieve efficient flow manipulation with artificial cilia actuation for micromixing is necessary to be documented to benefit the profoundly microfluidic applications. This study described a new micromixing strategy that mimics a fish-schooling configuration to design the distribution arrangement of artificial cilia inside a micromixer. Fish-schooling configuration provides …

In this study, we employed microwave-assisted heating method to synthesize pure anatase TiO₂nanoparticles by solvothermal route. The synthesized TiO₂ nanoparticles of 20 nm are suitable as metal oxide semiconductor material for the application of dye-sensitized solar cells.

The major advantage of this recipe is the time-saving procedure for screen-printing paste …

Modulation of intracellular Ca²⁺ levels provides versatile and dynamic signaling that mediates various cellular processes, such as proliferation, migration, and gene expression. Store-operated Ca²⁺ entry (SOCE) is the major form of extracellular Ca²⁺ influx in non-excitable cells, and the major molecular components in regulation of SOCE are the ER Ca²⁺ …

Wireless sensor network (WSN) requests very compact design in size and robust wireless communication between neighboring sensor nodes. Reducing power consumption for a smaller battery size and an extended battery lifetime in highly integrated electronics is always of the essence for WSN applications. In order to reduce power consumption, sensor nodes in low-activity-rate systems are typically …
