(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The adaptive immune response is very important for our survival in that it gives us the capability of detecting a wide variety of foreign material, allows for the elimination of pathogens, and provides memory to protect ...
-
An engineering analysis of natural and biomimetic self-repair processes for solar energy harvesting (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Plants have evolved highly sophisticated mechanisms of self-repair to regenerate proteins that become photo-damaged over time. Key to this self-repair process is the reversible self-assembly of protein complexes, which is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The synthesis of complex microparticles is an important objective. These particles can find use in a number of applications ranging from tissue engineering to ceramics and assembly. Tuned assembly of anisotropic particles ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Magnetic particles have been used for many applications demanding a broad range of particles morphologies and chemistries. Superparamagnetism is advantageous over ferromagnetism because it enables us to control and recover ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The nonlinear coupling between an exothermic chemical reaction and a nanowire or nanotube with large axial heat conduction guides a self-propagating thermal wave along the nano-conduit. The thermal conduit accelerates the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)There is emerging interest in the ability to fabricate organic photovoltaics (OPVs) on flexible, lightweight substrates, which could lower the cost of installation and enable new form factors for deployment. However, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The main body of this work considers the design and development of a microfluidic, continuous electrochemical sensor capable of measuring accurate potential differences. The key challenge in creating such a device is the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Catalytic processes are ubiquitous in both research and industrial settings. As continuous flow processes continue to gain traction in research labs and fine and pharmaceutical chemical processes, new opportunities exist ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Chemoattractant gradients play important roles in the normal function of immune system, from lymphocyte homeostasis to mounting efficient immune responses against infection. Improved fundamental knowledge about the role ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)It is essential to control crystallization in many areas of science and technology, such as the production of pharmaceuticals, pigments, concrete, semiconductors, as well as the formation of biominerals. In most practical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The immunosuppressive effects of CD4⁺CD25⁺ regulatory T cells (Tregs) interfere with anti-tumor immune responses in cancer patients. In the first part of this work, we present a novel class of engineered Interleukin-2 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Photo-responsive liquid crystal polymers (LCP) which contain azobenzene moieties have gained interest for their ability to change properties by merely irradiating them with the correct wavelength of light in the appropriate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)DNA vaccines and gene therapies that use plasmid DNA (pDNA) as a vector have gained attention in recent years for their good safety profile, ease of manufacturing, and potential to treat a host of diseases. With this ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We have developed a continuous multi-stage high-temperature and high-pressure microfluidic system. High-pressure conditions enabled the use low molecular weight solvents that have previously not been available for quantum ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Elevated levels of nitric oxide (NO) in vivo are associated with a variety of cellular modifications thought to be mutagenic or carcinogenic. These processes are likely mediated by reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Understanding the ways that matter deforms and flows, which is the focus of the branch of science known as rheology, is essential for the efficient processing and proper function of such practically and technologically ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)High-lipid algae are potential sources of biofuels. Lipids in this biomass provide a straightforward chemical route to hydrocarbon-based high energy-density fuels needed for diesel and jet engines. However, current schemes ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) with carbon dioxide capture is a promising technology to produce electricity from coal at a higher efficiency than with traditional subcritical pulverized coal (PC) power plants. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The pharmaceutical industry is currently shifting from batch to continuous manufacturing, and for downstream processes, this shift can reduce costs and improve quality provided the new unit operations are chosen properly. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Anisotropic multifunctional particles have drawn much attention, leading to wide ranges of applications from biomedical areas to electronics. Despite their enormous potentials, particles with geometrically and chemically ...
