(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Electromechanical probing applications continuously require smaller pitches, faster manufacturing and lower electrical resistance. Conventional techniques, such as MEMS based cantilever probes have their shortcomings in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis describes combined molecular simulations and theoretical modeling studies, supported by experimental observations, on properties and applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene sheets dispersed in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Numerous collaborative design frameworks have been developed to accelerate the product development, and recently environments for building distributed simulations have been proposed. For example, a simulation framework ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The free surface impact of solid objects has been investigated for well over a century. This canonical problem has many facets that may be studied: object geometry, surface treatment, and diameter; impact speed and angle; ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Three-dimensional, collagen scaffolds are an analog of the extracellular matrix and are used for many tissue engineering applications. While material and microstructural properties significantly affect overall scaffold ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Cell-mediated mechanical forces drive closure of severe wounds in adult mammalian organs, including the sciatic nerve following neurotmesis. Without experimental intervention the defect closes rapidly via contraction of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Defects in articular cartilage exhibit little spontaneous healing response, in part due to the limited number of chondrocytes available to infiltrate the defect and the absence of a provisional fibrin scaffold to accommodate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The thermosetting resin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is commonly used to prototype micro and nano featured components. In the field of microfluidics, PDMS-based devices have been used for cell sorting, cell culturing, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The lateral line system on fish has been found to aid in schooling behavior, courtship communication, active and passive hydrodynamic imaging, and prey detection. The most widely used artificial prey stimulus has been the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Engine oil consumption is one of the primary interests for the automotive industry in controlling emissions and reducing service cost. Due to a lack of understanding of the mechanisms of oil transport along the piston, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
-
Characterization of nanoparticle-DNA conjugate and control of DNA conformation on particle surface (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Nano-science has exploited the hybridization and de-hybridization phenomena of DNA which are one of its fundamental functions. In particular, conjugates of gold nanoparticles and DNA (Au NP-DNA) have been extensively ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Engine friction, wear, and oil consumption are some of the primary interests for the automotive industry. However, there is currently a lack of understanding of the fundamentals involving oil transport inside the power ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Cardiovascular diseases persist as the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Stem cell therapy, aimed to restore contractility and proper vasculature, has gained considerable attention as an attractive therapeutic option. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Nonlinear dynamic physical systems exhibit a rich variety of behaviors. In many cases, the system response is unstable, and the behavior may become unpredictable. Since an unstable or unpredictable response is usually ...
