| Abstract | This CAREER project aims to develop a miniature sensor capable of measuring how heat flow within living cells is affected by variations in thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity – the ability of a material to conduct heat – is a fundamental material property, and variations in thermal conductivity inside a cell can provide valuable insights into biological processes such as metabolism, enzyme activity, and cell communication. This project will create a microdevice specifically designed to de |
