Tea and moreAbstract Show full text abstract about The ability to send a wave to fetch an object from a distanc...» The ability to send a wave to fetch an object from a distance would fulfill many dreams. It was known since Stokes that propagating small-amplitude potential waves only push particles in the direction of propagation. I describe the experiments which show that when waves become three-dimensional as a result of the modulation instability, a floater can be forced to move towards the wave source. The mechanism for this is the generation of surface vortices by waves propagating away from vertically oscillating plungers. That introduces a new conceptual framework for understanding wave-driven flows, which enables us to engineer inward and outward surface jets, stationary vortices, and other complex flows. The results form a new basis for the remote manipulation of objects on fluid surfaces and for a better understanding of the motion of floaters in the ocean, the generation of wave-driven jets, and the formation of Lagrangian coherent structures. -

With each new technology generation, the role of lithography has increased in importance not only because of the requirements for smaller feature sizes and tighter overlay, but also because of the increasing costs of lithography tools. Optical projection lithography and its extensions, e.g., water immersion, are expected to remain the lithographic technologies until at least 2020. Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) extends optical lithography to a higher resolution and provides a larger depth of focus because it utilizes a shorter imaging wavelength: 13.5 nm versus 193-248 nm. In this talk, brief history of the development of the 13.5 nm light sources is addressed along with the current state of the EUV technology. In addition to that, examples of the extreme ultraviolet radiation applications beyond the lithography and for advancing the nano-technology will be given. -

Soft Matter and BiomaterialsContact Details Show full text description of Interactions between cells and their surrounding matrix pla...» Interactions between cells and their surrounding matrix play defining roles in biological processes. The biological cell can be thought of as a 'living rheometer' continuously probing the mechanical properties of its environment by exerting contractile forces through the actomyosin machinery. These tension forces are transmitted to the extracellular matrix through transmembrane receptors which link the surrounding matrix to the actin cytoskeleton. It is clear by now that substrate mechanical properties strongly influence cell behavior. Furthermore, recent lines of evidence indicate that cells can respond to mechanical deformations generated by neighboring cells. The basis for this phenomenon and the role of mechanical communication between cells is unknown. In my talk, I will describe the progress made in our lab focusing on the role of cell mechanosensing in cardiac cell synchronized beating. In addition I will describe our progress towards design of protein-engineered biomaterials that promote mechanical coupling between cells. -
