In this interview, Dr. Andreas Charles Voelker, CEO of LS Instruments talks to AZoM about microrheology technology and the applications and industries that will benefit from this technique. At LS ...

Rheology refers to the study of flow and deformation of materials under imposed stress. The limitations of material behavior are the ideal (Hookean) solid, which is distinguished by an elastic modulus ...

In Physics of Fluids, Vega et al. researched human tears at the micron level to reveal new ways of customizing artificial tears to address individual symptoms of dry eye disease. The detailed insights ...

Microrheology uses micro-scale probes to quantify the mechanical properties of living cells, offering insights into cytoskeletal organisation, membrane tension and intracellular structures. Unlike ...

Living cells are viscoelastic materials, dominated by an elastic response on timescales longer than a millisecond 1. On shorter timescales, the dynamics of individual cytoskeleton filaments are ...

Microbial activity in planktonic systems creates a dynamic and heterogeneous microscale seascape that harbors a diverse community of microorganisms and ecological interactions of global significance.

WASHINGTON, July 11, 2023 – Compared to artificial tears, or eye drops, human tears are significantly more complex liquids, with a wide range of components including lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, ...
