Goal: To develop a micron-scale device that can operate as an MRI-based reporter for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Methods: Iron rod microdevices were constructed via template-guided synthesis and suspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Heat-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 viruses were added...

In this work, silicon micromachined structures (SMS), consisting of arrays of 3-µm-thick silicon walls separated by 50-µm-deep, 5-µm-wide gaps, were applied to investigate the behaviour of eight tumour cell lines, with different origins and biological aggressiveness, in a three-dimensional (3D)...
