Tunable Nanoparticle and Cell Assembly Using Combined Self‐Powered Microfluidics and Microcontact Printing

The combination of cell microenvironment control and real‐time monitoring of cell signaling events can provide key biological information. Through precise multipatterning of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) around cells, sensing and actuating elements can be introduced in the cells' microenviroment, providing a powerful substrate for cell studies. In this work, a combination of techniques are implemented to engineer complex substrates for cell studies. Alternating GNPs and bioactive areas are created with micrometer separation by means of a combination of vacumm soft‐lithography of GNPs and protein microcontract printing. Instead of conventional microfluidics that need syringe pumps to flow liquid in the microchannels, degas driven flow is used to fill dead‐end channels with GNP solutions, rendering the fabrication process straightforward and accessible. This new combined technique is called Printing and Vacuum lithography (PnV lithography). By using different GNPs with various organic coating ligands, different macroscale patterns are obtained, such as wires, supercrystals, and uniformly spread nanoparticle layers that can find different applications depending on the need of the user. The application of the system is tested to pattern a range of mammalian cell lines and obtain readouts on cell viability, cell morphology, and the presence of cell adhesive proteins.     

Au‐Decorated Cracked Carbon Tube Arrays as Binder‐Free Catalytic Cathode Enabling Guided Li2O2 Inner Growth for High‐Performance Li‐O2 Batteries

Owing to their extremely high energy density, Li‐O₂ batteries have attained increasing attention in recent studies. However, deposition of the discharge product, insulating Li₂O₂, is known to seriously limit the electrochemical performance of Li‐O₂ batteries. While extensive studies have focused on relieving electrode deactivation by controlling Li₂O₂ growth, no permanent or effective mechanism is delivered. Here, a unique design comprising a catalytic cathode constructed by cracked carbon submicron tube (CST) arrays decorated with Au nanoparticles on inner walls is proposed. The introduction of Au nanoparticles not only improves electrode conductivity but also provides catalytic sites, guiding conformal growth of thin‐layered Li₂O₂ inside the cracked CST. Density functional theory calculations support that Au decoration on CST favors the conformal growth of Li₂O₂ on inner tubular walls. This growth behavior of Li₂O₂ renders easy decomposition of Li₂O₂, prevents carbon tube electrode from full, rapid deactivation, and preserves the free space for reactants transport. Li‐O₂ cells with Au@CST exhibit good rate capability (1208 mAh g^–1 at a high current density of 1000 mA g^–1) and long cycle life (112 cycles at a current density of 400 mA g^–1 with a limited capacity of 500 mAh g^–1).     

High Performance,Multiplexed Lung Cancer Biomarker Detection on a Plasmonic Gold Chip

Diagnosis of lung cancer is performed using a plasmonic gold (pGOLD) chip through multiplexed near‐infrared (NIR) detection of carcino‐embryonic antigen (CEA), Cyfra21‐1, and neuron‐specific enolase (NSE) in the serum samples of patients. With ≈50‐fold enhancement of NIR fluorescence, multiplexed microarray analysis of CEA, Cyfra21‐1, and NSE in 10 μL of human serum or whole blood samples on pGOLD chip leads to markedly improved limit‐of‐quantification, limit‐of‐detection, reproducibility, and higher diagnostic sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional biochips and Luminex technology currently in use in hospitals.

Ion-beam etched multi-level resist technique for electroplating of submicron gold absorber patterns

A structuring process is developed which enables the fabrication of gold patterns by electroplating with a minimum linewidth of ? 0.3 μm. These patterns are used as mask patterns for X-ray lithography. They can be up to 1.6 μm thick. For this purpose, a resist pattern, which is generated by an electron beam, is transmitted to a multi-layer system by reactive ion-beam etching. The multi-layer system consists of a 2 μm thick polyimide layer, a 70 nm thick aluminum intermediate layer and a 30 nm thick gold passivation layer.With this process, X-ray masks with a polyimide membrane were produced and utilized for exposure to synchrotron radiation.
