An Unlikely Tale: How a Paper on Hemostasis, Puncture Wounds and Platelets Came from a Team Led by Ph.D.s in Physics and Biochemistry
Puncture wounds and how platelet leads to bleeding cessation is not normally thought of as problem in cell and developmental biology. Here a team trained in physics and biochemistry take exactly that approach to thrombus structure and how that leads to bleeding cessation in ta jugular wound.
Building the next generation of Shape Displays
Shape displays are devices that can mechanically deform their surface to render particular objects or shapes. If a regular display is made of an array of pixels, a shape display is made of an array of physical parts that can move.
