The vibrational eigenmodes of dumbbell-shaped polystyrene nanoparticles are recorded by Brillouin light spectroscopy (BLS), and the full experimental spectra are calculated theoretically. Different from spheres with a degeneracy of (2l+1), with l being the angular momentum quantum number, the eigenmodes of dumbbells are either singly or doubly degenerate owing to their axial symmetry. The BLS spectrum reveals a new, low-frequency peak, which is attributed to the out-of-phase vibration of the two lobes of the dumbbell. The quantization of acoustic modes in these molecule-shaped dumbbell particles evolves from the primary colloidal spheres as the separation between the two lobes increases.

This paper presents thermal analysis simulation and verification of a 50-nanoliter-reactor PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) well for application in silicon arrays, allowing 5/spl times/5 chamber matrix to be fitted on a 1cm/sup 2/ square. Every reactor cell is equipped with an integrated heater, temperature sensor and a photodetector. Each well forms a separate unit independently controlled and thermally insulated from the rest. Through micromachining the thermal capacity of each chamber is minimized, enabling rapid (8 - 10 cycles per minute) PCR cycling. To characterize the thermal behavior, an equivalent lumped element electrical circuit was defined and the results were compared to those obtained by Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis with CoventorWare/spl trade/. The proposed structure was implemented on a silicon substrate using a standard CMOS process and post-processing. Experiments were performed for verification of the model. Analysis shows that a temperature of about 95/spl deg/C can be reached (starting from 55/spl deg/C) by applying 1.5 W of electrical power in the integrated heater over a period of less than 2.5 seconds. The cooling (not active - self cooling) of the device is done in about 1.5 second.

Tattooing is a ubiquitous body modification involving the injection of ink and/or dye pigments into the dermis. Biosensors in the form of tattoos can be used to monitor metabolites in interstitial fluid. Here, minimally invasive, injectable dermal biosensors were developed for measuring pH, glucose, and albumin concentrations. The dermal pH sensor was based on methyl red, bromothymol blue, and phenolphthalein, which responded to a pH range from 5.0 to 9.0. The dermal glucose sensor consisted of glucose oxidase, 3,3′,5,5′‐tetramethylbenzidine, and peroxidase that detected concentrations up to 50.0 mmol L −1 . The dermal albumin sensor consisted of 3′,3′′,5′,5′′‐tetrachlorophenol‐3,4,5,6‐tetrabromosulfophthalein to measure concentrations up to 5.0 g L −1 . The sensors were multiplexed in ex vivo skin tissue and quantitative readouts were obtained using a smartphone camera. These sensors can be used to manage of acid–base homeostasis, diabetes, and liver failure in point‐of‐care settings.
