A Biomimetic Interface with High Adhesion, Tailorable Modulus for On-Skin Sensors, and Low-Power Actuators by Song Chen (69646)

“…In addition to the adhesion function, the interface can also help lock the actuator states thanks to the tunable modulus of the interface, which is highly valuable for decreasing the power consumption of the actuator. This work provides a new avenue to address both sensing and actuating bottlenecks by focusing on the interface.…”

Easy-to-Use Osmosis-Based Microfluidic Chip for Protein Crystallization: Application to a Monoclonal Antibody by Sandy Morais (10723660)

“…The water chemical activity fixed by the reservoir makes it possible to modify the volume of the droplets in a controlled way (reduction or increase). Because PDMS is only permeable to water, the imposed water activity therefore increases or decreases the concentration of the solutes present in the droplet and consequently the supersaturation of the solution. …”

Control of the Speed of a Light-Induced Spin Transition through Mesoscale Core-Shell Architecture by Slimani, Ahmed

“…Isothermal relaxation from the optically induced high spin state of the core back to the low spin state and activation energies associated with the transition between these states were measured. The presence of a shell decreases the activation energy, which is associated with the elastic properties of the core. …”
