Mobile microrobots for bioengineering applications
Untethered micron-scale mobile robots can navigate and non-invasively perform specific tasks inside unprecedented and hard-to-reach inner human body sites and inside enclosed organ-on-a-chip microfluidic devices with live cells.
Towards next-generation label-free biosensors: recent advances in whispering gallery mode sensors
We review recent advances achieved in the field of optical whispering gallery mode biosensors. We discuss major challenges that these label-free sensors are faced with on their way towards future real-world applications and introduce different approaches suggested to overcome these issues. We furthermore highlight their potential future applications.
