Dissipation of oscillatory contact lines using resonant mode scanning.

ABSTRACT: Moving contact-lines (CLs) dissipate. Sessile droplets, mechanically driven into resonance by plane-normal forcing of the contacting substrate, can exhibit oscillatory CL motions with CL losses dominating bulk dissipation. Conventional practice measures CL dissipation based on the rate of mechanical work of the unbalanced Young's force at the CL. Typical approaches require measurements local to the CL and assumptions about the "equilibrium" contact angle (CA). This paper demonstrates how to use scanning of forcing frequency to characterize CL dissipation without any dependence on measurements from the vicinity of the CL. The results are of immediate relevance to an International Space Station (ISS) experiment and of longer-term relevance to Earth-based wettability applications. Experiments reported here use various concentrations of a water-glycerol mixture on a low-hysteresis non-wetting substrate.

Resonant scanning design and control for fast spatial sampling.

Project description:Two-dimensional, resonant scanners have been utilized in a large variety of imaging modules due to their compact form, low power consumption, large angular range, and high speed. However, resonant scanners have problems with non-optimal and inflexible scanning patterns and inherent phase uncertainty, which limit practical applications. Here we propose methods for optimized design and control of the scanning trajectory of two-dimensional resonant scanners under various physical constraints, including high frame-rate and limited actuation amplitude. First, we propose an analytical design rule for uniform spatial sampling. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that by expanding the design space, the proposed designs outperform previous designs in terms of scanning range and fill factor. Second, we show that we can create flexible scanning patterns that allow focusing on user-defined Regions-of-Interest (RoI) by modulation of the scanning parameters. The scanning parameters are found by an optimization algorithm. In simulations, we demonstrate the benefits of these designs with standard metrics and higher-level computer vision tasks (LiDAR odometry and 3D object detection). Finally, we experimentally implement and verify both unmodulated and modulated scanning modes using a two-dimensional, resonant MEMS scanner. Central to the implementations is high bandwidth monitoring of the phase of the angular scans in both dimensions. This task is carried out with a position-sensitive photodetector combined with high-bandwidth electronics, enabling fast spatial sampling at [Formula: see text] Hz frame-rate.

Graph-facilitated resonant mode counting in stochastic interaction networks.

Project description:Oscillations in dynamical systems are widely reported in multiple branches of applied mathematics. Critically, even a non-oscillatory deterministic system can produce cyclic trajectories when it is in a low copy number, stochastic regime. Common methods of finding parameter ranges for stochastically driven resonances, such as direct calculation, are cumbersome for any but the smallest networks. In this paper, we provide a systematic framework to efficiently determine the number of resonant modes and parameter ranges for stochastic oscillations relying on real root counting algorithms and graph theoretic methods. We argue that stochastic resonance is a network property by showing that resonant modes only depend on the squared Jacobian matrix J2, unlike deterministic oscillations which are determined by J By using graph theoretic tools, analysis of stochastic behaviour for larger interaction networks is simplified and stochastic dynamical systems with multiple resonant modes can be identified easily.

Edge-Contact MoS<sub>2</sub> Transistors Fabricated Using Thermal Scanning Probe Lithography.

Project description:The science and engineering of two-dimensional materials (2DMs), in particular, of 2D semiconductors, is advancing at a thriving pace. It is well known that these delicate few-atoms thick materials can be damaged during the processing toward their integration into final devices. Thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) is a gentle alternative to the typically used electron beam lithography to fabricate these devices avoiding the use of electrons, which are well known to deteriorate the 2DMs' properties. Here, t-SPL is used for the fabrication of MoS2-based field effect transistors (FETs). In particular, the use of t-SPL is demonstrated for the first time for the fabrication of edge-contact MoS2 FETs, combining the hot-tip patterning and Ar+ milling to etch the 2DM. To avoid contamination of the contact interface by atmospheric gas molecules, etching and metal deposition are performed without breaking the vacuum conditions in between. With this process, edge-contact MoS2 FETs are successfully fabricated and characterized. On/off ratios up to 108 and 109 are obtained at room temperature in air and vacuum, respectively, i.e., comparable with the best values reported in the literature.

Resonant acoustic rheometry for non-contact characterization of viscoelastic biomaterials.

Project description:Resonant Acoustic Rheometry (RAR) is a new, non-contact technique to characterize the mechanical properties of soft and viscoelastic biomaterials, such as hydrogels, that are used to mimic the extracellular matrix in tissue engineering. RAR uses a focused ultrasound pulse to generate a microscale perturbation at the sample surface and tracks the ensuing surface wave using pulse-echo ultrasound. The frequency spectrum of the resonant surface waves is analyzed to extract viscoelastic material properties. In this study, RAR was used to characterize fibrin, gelatin, and agarose hydrogels. Single time point measurements of gelled samples with static mechanical properties showed that RAR provided consistent quantitative data and measured intrinsic material characteristics independent of ultrasound parameters. RAR was also used to longitudinally track dynamic changes in viscoelastic properties over the course of fibrin gelation, revealing distinct phase and material property transitions. Application of RAR was verified using finite element modeling and the results were validated against rotational shear rheometry. Importantly, RAR circumvents some limitations of conventional rheology methods and can be performed in a high-throughput manner using conventional labware. Overall, these studies demonstrate that RAR can be a valuable tool to noninvasively quantify the viscoelastic mechanical properties of soft hydrogel biomaterials.

Dual-Mode and Label-Free Detection of Exosomes from Plasma Using an Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring.

Project description:The biomolecular contents of extracellular vesicles, such as exosomes, have been shown to be crucial in intercellular communication and disease propagation. As a result, there has been a recent surge in the exploration of novel biosensing platforms that can sensitively and specifically detect exosomal content such as proteins and nucleic acids, with a view toward application in diagnostic assays. Here, we demonstrate dual-mode and label-free detection of plasma exosomes using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (EQCM-D). The platform adopts a direct immunosensing approach to effectively capture exosomes via their surface protein expression of CD63. By combining QCM-D with a tandem in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement, we are able to demonstrate relationships between mass, viscoelasticity and impedance inducing properties of each functional layer and analyte. In addition to lowering the limit of detection (by a factor of 2-4) to 6.71 × 107 exosome-sized particles (ESP) per mL in 25% v/v serum, the synergy between dissipation and impedance response introduces improved sensing specificity by offering further distinction between soft and rigid analytes, thereby promoting EQCM-D as an important technique for exosome analysis.

Resonant-scanning dual-color STED microscopy with ultrafast photon counting: A concise guide.

Project description:STED (stimulated emission depletion) is a popular super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique. In this paper, we present a concise guide to building a resonant-scanning STED microscope with ultrafast photon-counting acquisition. The STED microscope has two channels, using a pulsed laser and a continuous-wave (CW) laser as the depletion laser source, respectively. The CW STED channel preforms time-gated detection to enhance optical resolution in this channel. We use a resonant mirror to attain high scanning speed and ultrafast photon counting acquisition to scan a large field of view, which help reduce photobleaching. We discuss some practical issues in building a STED microscope, including creating a hollow depletion beam profile, manipulating polarization, and monitoring optical aberration. We also demonstrate a STED image enhancement method using stationary wavelet expansion and image analysis methods to register objects and to quantify colocalization in STED microscopy.

Contact-free scanning and imaging with the scanning ion conductance microscope.

Project description:Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) offers the ability to obtain very high-resolution topographical images of living cells. One of the great advantages of SICM lies in its ability to perform contact-free scanning. However, it is not yet clear when the requirements for this scan mode are met. We have used finite element modeling (FEM) to examine the conditions for contact-free scanning. Our findings provide a framework for understanding the contact-free mode of SICM and also extend previous findings with regard to SICM resolution. Finally, we demonstrate the importance of our findings for accurate biological imaging.

Recursive feedback between matrix dissipation and chemo-mechanical signaling drives oscillatory growth of cancer cell invadopodia.

Project description:Most extracellular matrices (ECMs) are known to be dissipative, exhibiting viscoelastic and often plastic behaviors. However, the influence of dissipation, in particular mechanical plasticity in 3D confining microenvironments, on cell motility is not clear. In this study, we develop a chemo-mechanical model for dynamics of invadopodia, the protrusive structures that cancer cells use to facilitate invasion, by considering myosin recruitment, actin polymerization, matrix deformation, and mechano-sensitive signaling pathways. We demonstrate that matrix dissipation facilitates invadopodia growth by softening ECMs over repeated cycles, during which plastic deformation accumulates via cyclic ratcheting. Our model reveals that distinct protrusion patterns, oscillatory or monotonic, emerge from the interplay of timescales for polymerization-associated extension and myosin recruitment dynamics. Our model predicts the changes in invadopodia dynamics upon inhibition of myosin, adhesions, and the Rho-Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) pathway. Altogether, our work highlights the role of matrix plasticity in invadopodia dynamics and can help design dissipative biomaterials to modulate cancer cell motility.

Quantifying dissipation using fluctuating currents.

Project description:Systems coupled to multiple thermodynamic reservoirs can exhibit nonequilibrium dynamics, breaking detailed balance to generate currents. To power these currents, the entropy of the reservoirs increases. The rate of entropy production, or dissipation, is a measure of the statistical irreversibility of the nonequilibrium process. By measuring this irreversibility in several biological systems, recent experiments have detected that particular systems are not in equilibrium. Here we discuss three strategies to replace binary classification (equilibrium versus nonequilibrium) with a quantification of the entropy production rate. To illustrate, we generate time-series data for the evolution of an analytically tractable bead-spring model. Probability currents can be inferred and utilized to indirectly quantify the entropy production rate, but this approach requires prohibitive amounts of data in high-dimensional systems. This curse of dimensionality can be partially mitigated by using the thermodynamic uncertainty relation to bound the entropy production rate using statistical fluctuations in the probability currents.

Forward-viewing resonant fiber-optic scanning endoscope of appropriate scanning speed for 3D OCT imaging.

Project description:A forward-viewing resonant fiber-optic endoscope of a scanning speed appropriate for a high-speed Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) system was developed to enable real-time, three-dimensional endoscopic OCT imaging. A new method was explored to conveniently tune the scanning frequency of a resonant fiber-optic scanner, by properly selecting the fiber-optic cantilever length, partially changing the mechanical property of the cantilever, and adding a weight to the cantilever tip. Systematic analyses indicated the resonant scanning frequency can be tuned over two orders of magnitude spanning from approximately 10Hz to approximately kHz. Such a flexible scanning frequency range makes it possible to set an appropriate scanning speed of the endoscope to match the different A-scan rates of a variety of FD-OCT systems. A 2.4-mm diameter, 62.5-Hz scanning endoscope appropriate to work with a 40-kHz swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) system was developed and demonstrated for 3D OCT imaging of biological tissues.
