Rigidity of silicone substrates controls cell spreading and stem cell differentiation.

abstract：:A central goal of electronics based on correlated materials or 'Mottronics' is the ability to switch between distinct collective states with a control voltage. Small changes in structure and charge density near a transition can tip the balance between competing phases, leading to dramatic changes in electronic and mag...
