Development and Characterization of PEDOT:PSS/Alginate Soft Microelectrodes for Application in Neuroprosthetics

Marc Olivier Heuschkel, Flavio Maurizio Mor, Estelle Annick Cuttaz, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi, Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni, Laura Ferlauto

Reducing the mechanical mismatch between the stiffness of a neural implant and the softness of the neural tissue is still an open challenge in neuroprosthetics. The emergence of conductive hydrogels in the last few years has considerably widened the spectr ...

Single potassium niobate nano/microsized particles as local mechano-optical Brownian probes

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Sylvia Jeney, Arnaud Magrez, Flavio Maurizio Mor

Perovskite alkaline niobates, due to their strong nonlinear optical properties, including birefringence and the capability to produce second-harmonic generation (SHG) signals, attract a lot of attention as potential candidates for applications as local nan ...

Calibration of optical tweezers with non-spherical probes via high-resolution detection of Brownian motion

László Forró, Richard Gaal, Sylvia Jeney, Flavio Maurizio Mor

Optical tweezers are commonly used and powerful tools to perform force measurements on the piconewton scale and to detect nanometer-scaled displacements. However, the precision of these instruments relies to a great extent on the accuracy of the calibratio ...

Upconversion Particle as a Local Luminescent Brownian Probe: A Photonic Force Microscopy Study

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Sylvia Jeney, Flavio Maurizio Mor

Near-infrared (NIR) light sensitive lanthanide-doped NaYF4 upconversion particles (UCPs) are gaining increasing attention as local probes in biomedical applications. Here, we implemented a photonic force microscope (PFM) to manipulate and study the optical ...

Exploiting the color of Brownian motion for high-frequency microrheology of Newtonian fluids

László Forró, Sylvia Jeney, Flavio Maurizio Mor

Einstein's stochastic description of the random movement of small objects in a fluid, i.e. Brownian motion, reveals to be quite different, when observed on short timescales. The limitations of Einstein's theory with respect to particle inertia and hydrodyn ...

Developing luminescent Brownian probes for near-field investigations of the intracellular environment

Flavio Maurizio Mor

Life sciences have a constantly growing need for novel methodological approaches suitable to investigate the intracellular environment with increased temporal and spatial resolutions. Recently, optical near-field probes, such as laser-irradiated pointed me ...

Resonances arising from hydrodynamic memory in Brownian motion

László Forró, Sylvia Jeney, Giuseppe Foffi, Flavio Maurizio Mor, Maxim Belushkin, Matthias Grimm

Observation of the Brownian motion of a small probe interacting with its environment provides one of the main strategies for characterizing soft matter. Essentially, two counteracting forces govern the motion of the Brownian particle. First, the particle i ...
