DESCRIPTION:Title: Democratizing single molecule nanoarrays\nby Ashwin Gopinath
(Assistant Professor\, Mechanical Engineering (MechE)) as part of SENSE.na
no Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nArrays of individual molecules o
r nanoparticles can combine the advantage of microarrays and single-molecu
le experiments. They facilitate miniaturized high-throughput assays with l
ow sample and reagent consumption while also revealing heterogeniety hidde
n in ensemble measurements. However\, creating single molecule arrays are
particularly difficult since conventional nano-fabrication techniques can'
t be used to organize individual molecules onto defined positions on a sub
strate. In this context 'DNA origami placement' is an appealing technique
as it allows any molecule (or nanoparticle) that can be labeled with DNA t
o be organized on arbitrary substrates using standard lithographic process
es. The challenge now becomes one of reducing cost\, developing applicatio
ns\, and increasing the capabilities.\n\nIn this talk\, Gopinath will intr
oduce a bench-top technique to create cm-scale DNA origami nanoarrays that
does not require any nanopatterning step\, at a cost of $1 per cm2 and Go
pinath will also discuss the application of this technique for point-of-ca
re diagnostics. Finally\, Gopinath will end by introducing strategies for
performing non-aqueous organic reaction on immobilized DNA origami for cre
ating arrays of extremely hydrophobic molecules.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Dynamic lens systems for biosensing\nby Tim Swager (John D. M
cArthur Professor\, Chemistry) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.na
no\n\n\nAbstract\nThis talk will focus on the design of systems wherein re
configuration of complex liquid emulsions (droplets) can be triggered chem
ically or biochemically. The utility of these methods is to generate new t
ransduction mechanisms by which chemical and biological sensors can be dev
eloped. Complex liquid droplets behave as optical lens systems and small c
hanges in surface tensions can change focal lengths or cause systems to sw
itch between optically transmissive or scattering states. Central to this
scheme is that the fluids in the droplets have different densities and hen
ce are aligned by the earth’s gravity. The induced optical changes can b
e triggered with chemical\, photochemical\, or biochemical stimuli and the
reby create new generations of sensors. Demonstrations of these methods fo
r the detection of proteins\, antibodies\, and pathogens will be presented

ano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nTo understand the function and
dynamics of the nervous system and to find treatments for the neurological
and psychiatric conditions that increasingly affect our aging society\, n
ew tools capable of addressing neuronal signaling complexity are urgently
needed. These tools must also match the mechanical and chemical properties
of the neural tissue to avoid foreign body response and functional pertur
bation to local circuits. By leveraging fiber-drawing methods from the tel
ecommunications industry\, our group creates flexible and stretchable prob
es capable of recording and stimulation of neural activity as well as deli
very of drugs and genes into the brain and spinal cord. We use these probe
s to interrogate brain circuits\, such as those involved in anxiety and fe
ar\, and to promote recovery following spinal cord and nerve injury. Simul
taneosly\, we develop a broad range of magnetic nanotransducers that conve
rt externally applied magnetic fields into thermal\, chemical\, and mechan
ical signals\, which can then be perceived by ion channels on neurons. Sin
ce biological tissues exhibit negligible magnetic permeability and low con
ductivity\, magnetic fields can penetrate deep into the body with no atten
uation allowing us to apply the nanomagnetic transducers to remotely contr
ol deep brain circuits associated with reward and motivation as well as ad
renal circuits involved in regulation of corticosterone and (nor)epinephri
ne release.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Non-contact laser ultrasound\nby Xiang (Shawn) Zhang (Postdoc
toral Associate\, Mechanical Engineering (MechE)) as part of SENSE.nano Sy
mposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nFull non-contact laser ultrasound (LU
S) imaging has several distinct advantages over current medical ultrasound
(US) technologies: elimination of coupling mediums (gel/water)\, operator
-independent image quality\, improved repeatability\, and volumetric imagi
ng. Current light-based ultrasound utilizing tissue penetrating photoacous
tics (PA) generally uses traditional piezoelectric transducers in contact
with the imaged tissue or carries an optical fiber detector close to the i
maging site. Unlike PA\, LUS minimizes optical penetration and specificall
y restricts optical to acoustic energy transduction at the tissue surface\
, maximizing the generated acoustic source amplitude. LUS operates analogo
us to conventional ultrasound by using light to replace piezoelectric elem
ents. Experimental LUS images at ~5 cm image depths with meter scale stand
off successfully demonstrates the feasibility of LUS for human imaging at
eye and skin safe optical exposure levels. First human LUS images inspire
further LUS development and is a significant step toward clinical implemen
tation of LUS.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Hand-held magnetic resonance imaging\nby Jacob White (Cecil H
Green Professor\, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS)) as pa
rt of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nThe costs and comp
lex infrastructure for high-field (> 1.5 Tesla) magnetic resonance (MR) im
aging has relegated this extremely-safe and remarkably-revealing clinical
tool to high-end hospital care. Recently-developed low-field MR imagers (0
.05 to 0.2 Tesla) are changing this situation\, because they can accuratel
y image an adult brain\, yet are portable enough to wheel to an ICU or NIC
U.\n\nIn this talk\, White will discuss his group's nascent effort to go e
ven further\; an imager that a clinician could slide over an arm (or a leg
\, or an infant's head)\, and "see beneath the skin" in real time. White w
ill start by describing the techniques used in their $100\, student-assemb
leable\, finger-sized imager\, and then discuss the daunting challenges in
moving beyond their very small educational device.\n

T Institute for Medical Engineering & Science (IMES)) as part of SENSE.nan
o Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nA large number of animal species
are hosts to viruses in geographic areas that have historically been separ
ated from humans. With climate change\, deforestation\, and increased urba
nization\, what was once rare human contact with these pathogens is increa
sing\, leading to spillover events that cause emerging virus infections. R
apid diagnostic tests are needed for population surveillance to identify c
irculating pathogens\, as well as to serve health care workers in detectin
g and distinguishing pathogens for optimal patient care. The goal of our w
ork is to develop low cost tests that are simple to use\, do not require p
ower\, and do not require special chemicals. In COVID19 disease\, the abse
nce of a vaccine means that active vigilance\, accomplished by regular tes
ting (every 2-3 days) is required to prevent superspreader transmission. T
his regular testing requires an inexpensive test that can be used as a poi
nt-of-care diagnostic. We are actively pursuing technologies to reduce the
cost of developing rapid antigen tests\, permitting advance diagnostics d
evelopment that precedes outbreaks and epidemics.\n

ther promoted the field of wearables and smart textiles. However\, most of
the current efforts in textile electronics focus on a single modality and
cover a small area. In this work\, we introduce a new platform of modular

ks that can be embedded into digitally-knit textiles. This platform can be
customized for various forms\, sizes\, and functions using standard\, acc
essible\, and high-throughput textile manufacturing and garment patterning
techniques. Here\, we have developed a tailored\, electronic textile conf
ormable suit (E-TeCS) to perform large-scale\, multi-modal physiological (
temperature\, heart rate\, and respiration) sensing in vivo.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: MR relaxometer for improving clinical outcomes in hemodialysis\nby Michael Cima (David H. Koch Professor of Engineering\, Materials Sc
ience & Engineering (DMSE)\; Associate Dean of Innovation for the School o
f Engineering) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract
\nWe recently discovered in a human clinical trial that the MR signal orig
inating from skeletal muscle is an absolute measure of excess volume in en
d-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). HD pat
ients are prescribed a volume of fluid to be removed by ultrafiltration du
ring their dialysis session based on an assumed “dry weight.” Current
real-time assessment measures include hematocrit with the objective of kee
ping it constant. The vascular volume is maintained during dialysis using
this technology. Hematocrit does not\, however\, provide a measure of how
close the patient is to his/her dry weight.\n\nClinical signs and symptoms
are used to identify hypovolemia due to excessive fluid withdrawal. These
non-specific indicators often lag behind the onset of hypovolemia and the
ir presentation is highly variable between patients. Excessive fluid remov
al during HD is associated with nausea\, vomiting\, cramping\, and chest p
ain. We have constructed a sensor that will measure the tissue relaxivity
of muscle without the need for an MRI. This bedside instrument is portable
and compatible with the dialysis suite. Our goal is to improve management
of ESRD patient during HD and ultimately improve outcomes.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: A framework for biomarkers of COVID-19 based on neuromotor coord
ination in speech\nby Thomas Quatieri (Senior Staff\, Human Health and
Performance Systems Group\, Lincoln Laboratory) as part of SENSE.nano Sym
posium from MIT.nano\n\n\nAbstract\nA framework is proposed to detect and
track COVID-19 based on changes in neuromotor coordination across speech s
ubsystems involved in respiration\, phonation and articulation. The approa
ch is motivated by evidence of widespread inflammation of COVID-19 through
out the body including lower (i.e.\, bronchial tubes\, diaphragm\, lower t
rachea) and upper (i.e.\, laryngeal\, pharyngeal\, oral and nasal) tract i
njury\, as well as by the growing evidence of the virus’ neurological im
pact. An exploratory study is described involving a small set of pre-COVID
-19 (pre-exposure) versus post-COVID-19 (after positive diagnosis but pres
umed asymptomatic) audio interviews and a larger cohort of control versus
post-COVID-19 participants in an online protocol designed by Voca.ai in co
llaboration with Carnegie Melon University.\n\nFor each cohort pair\, Cohe
n’s d effect sizes were measured using coordination of respiration (as m
easured through the acoustic speech envelope) and laryngeal motion (fundam
ental frequency and cepstral peak prominence)\, and coordination of laryng
eal and articulatory (formant center frequencies) motion. While there is a
strong subject-dependence\, group-level morphology of effect sizes indica
tes a reduced complexity of subsystem coordination. For the later (larger)
cohort\, an encouraging detection/false alarm tradeoff was estimated usin
g a Gaussian mixture-based classifier. Validation is needed with larger mo
re controlled datasets and addressing confounding influences such as diffe
rent recording conditions\, unbalanced data quantities\, and changes in un
derlying vocal status from pre-to-post time recordings including changes i
n emotional state.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Fighting COVID-19 misinformation on social media\nby Dave Ra
nd (Erwin H. Schell Professor of Management Science and Brain & Cognitive
Sciences\, MIT Sloan) as part of SENSE.nano Symposium from MIT.nano\n\n\nA
bstract\nThe COVID-19 pandemic represents a substantial challenge to globa
l human well-being. Not unlike other challenges (e.g.\, global warming)\,
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on the actions of individual c
itizens and\, therefore\, the quality of the information to which people a
re exposed. Unfortunately\, however\, misinformation about COVID-19 has pr
oliferated\, including on social media.\n\nIn this talk\, Rand will presen
t evidence that people share false claims about COVID-19 partly because th
ey simply fail to think sufficiently about whether or not the content is a
ccurate when deciding what to share. In a first study\, participants were
far worse at discerning between true and false content when deciding what
they would share on social media relative to when they were asked directly
about accuracy. Furthermore\, greater cognitive reflection and science kn
owledge were associated with stronger discernment.\n\nIn a second study\,
we found that a simple accuracy reminder at the beginning of the study (i.
e.\, judging the accuracy of a non-COVID-19-related headline) nearly tripl
ed the level of truth discernment in participants’ subsequent sharing in
tentions. Our results\, which mirror those found previously for political
fake news\, suggest that nudging people to think about accuracy is a simpl
e way to improve choices about what to share on social media.\n
