 F63BF8F168CADA543F1\n\nMicrowave is not just for cooking\, smart cars\, or
  mobile phones. We can take advantage of the wide electromagnetic spectrum
  to do wonderful things that are more vital to our lives. For example\, mi
 crowave ablation of cancer tumors is already in wide use\, and microwave r
 emote monitoring of vital signs is becoming more important as the populati
 on ages. This talk will focus on a biomedical use of microwave at the sing
 le-cell level. At low power\, microwave can readily penetrate a cell membr
 ane to interrogate what is inside a cell\, without cooking it or otherwise
  hurting it. It is currently the fastest\, most compact\, and least costly
  way to tell whether a cell is alive or dead. On the other hand\, at highe
 r power but lower frequency\, the electromagnetic signal can interact stro
 ngly with the cell membrane to drill temporary holes of nanometer size. Th
 e nanopores allow drugs to diffuse into the cell and\, based on the reacti
 on of the cell\, individualized medicine can be developed and drug develop
 ment can be sped up in general. Conversely\, the nanopores allow strands o
 f DNA molecules to be pulled out of the cell without killing it\, which ca
 n speed up genetic engineering. Lastly\, by changing both the power and fr
 equency of the signal\, we can have either positive or negative dielectrop
 horesis effects\, which we have used to coerce a live cell to the examinat
 ion table of Dr. Microwave\, then usher it out after examination. These in
 teresting uses of microwave and the resulted fundamental knowledge about b
 iological cells will be explored in the talk.\n\nSpeaker(s): James Hwang\,

 cars\, or mobile phones. We can take advantage of the wide electromagnetic
  spectrum to do wonderful things that are more vital to our lives. For exa
 mple\, microwave ablation of cancer tumors is already in wide use\, and mi
 crowave remote monitoring of vital signs is becoming more important as the
  population ages. This talk will focus on a biomedical use of microwave at
  the single-cell level. At low power\, microwave can readily penetrate a c
 ell membrane to interrogate what is inside a cell\, without cooking it or 
 otherwise hurting it. It is currently the fastest\, most compact\, and lea
 st costly way to tell whether a cell is alive or dead. On the other hand\,
  at higher power but lower frequency\, the electromagnetic signal can inte
 ract strongly with the cell membrane to drill temporary holes of nanometer
  size. The nanopores allow drugs to diffuse into the cell and\, based on t
 he reaction of the cell\, individualized medicine can be developed and dru
 g development can be sped up in general. Conversely\, the nanopores allow 
 strands of DNA molecules to be pulled out of the cell without killing it\,
  which can speed up genetic engineering. Lastly\, by changing both the pow
 er and frequency of the signal\, we can have either positive or negative d
 ielectrophoresis effects\, which we have used to coerce a live cell to the
  examination table of Dr. Microwave\, then usher it out after examination.
  These interesting uses of microwave and the resulted fundamental knowledg
 e about biological cells will be explored in the talk. </span></span></spa
