Manipulating microscopic object with sound
Manipulating microscopic objects with sound: hybrid acoustic tweezers with strong acoustic field were developed and successfully applied for transient mechanical deformation and capturing of biological cells.
New insights into a rare disease
Researchers at PSI have uncovered how genetic defects damage human cilia in different ways – a step towards improving the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia, a disease that has until now been poorly understood.
