Abstract Delving into the intricate world of cancer cells requires a profound understanding signaling molecules released from cells. In this contribution, ammonia (NH 3 ) is monitored, small molecule and potential biomarker, on cell surfaces through liquid crystal elastomer microspheres (LCEM) at single‐cell level. The LCEM are synthesized molecular building blocks, 7‐octenoic acid (7OAc) 2‐methyl‐1,4‐phenylene bis(4‐((acryloyloxy)hexyl)oxy) benzoate (RM82) adorned healthy human umbilical vein endothelial (HUVEC), cancerous, primary glioblastoma (U87), colon carcinoma (CaCo‐2), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) cells, cultured within microfluidic channels. ethereal release NH living monitored radial‐to‐concentric transfiguration LCEM. cellular heterogeneity among cancerous populations unraveled by mapping morphology 100 each line. paves way for designing probes that offer selective, simplistic, label‐free monitoring biochemical processes unfurling which challenging to measure other analytical techniques.

In this work, a coating method was used to prepare liquid crystal physical gel with high orientation of molecules, excellent electrical conductivity, and mechanical stability. The matrix nematic phase (5CB), the factor polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), conductive filler carbon nanotubes/polyaniline (CNT/PANI). Chemical in situ polymerization create CNT/PANI composites, wherein polyaniline encapsulates nanotubes enhance their dispersion. At 4 mm/s, 7.2 N pressure, 72 s interval duration, shear flow-induced achieved. consistent large-area molecules realized direction parallel direction. Additionally, type stress sensor assembly based on multiple demonstrated good performance 90° bending test sensitivity 20% tensile test, 23.25. Regarding use materials flexible electronic devices, it is quite important.
