Our recent work on was published in Nature Nanotechnology ! We show that soft, high-density neural probes can track stable single-neuron activity in the brain. If you are interest in #pilot projects with Axoft, it starts right here: app.smartsheet.com/b/form/8dd8a97…

Seems to be a perfect match to that question! 😀

Boring mixtures are all alike; every interesting mixture is interesting in its own way. AAc is an amphiphilic monomer. PMMA is a hydrophobic polymer. A ternary mixture of AAc, PMMA, and water can form diverse structures: gel, micelle, solution.

Glad to see our paper online! When mixed, a ternary mixture of hydrophobic polymer, amphiphilic monomer, and water can lead to various morphologies. These morphologies adhere to a singular principle: minimizing the free energy of mixing.

In nature today, we reported that adhesive implant-tissue interfaces can prevent the formation of observable fibrous capsules on various organs, including the abdominal wall, colon, stomach, lung and heart, in diverse animal models, including rats, mice, humanized mice and pigs.

CONGRATS to Meixiang for her work on "glassy gels", published in Nature today. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new paper is now online! Here we study ductility of a nanocomposite of glassy and rubbery polymers. Many thanks to my co-author Guogao Zhang and advisor Zhigang Suo ! doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps…

In Section 6 of this new paper, Christine Heera Ahn, Guogao Zhang, and I review evidence of this brittle-to-ductile transition, and speculate on its molecular interpretation. We’d love to hear from people on this topic. docs.google.com/document/d/1AT…
