MATLAB: Decimal to binary conversion of an array

binarydecimal

i have an array a=[102, 2,3,201,8,9]
so when i convert it to binary each term has same length as
[ 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1]
but i want each term to become binary according to the size not with padded zero as 2 in binary is '10' not '0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0'
thanks in advance

Cell array of character vectors:
>> a = [102,2,3,201,8,9];
>> c = arrayfun(@dec2bin,a,'uni',0);
>> c{:}
ans = 1100110
ans = 10
ans = 11
ans = 11001001
ans = 1000
ans = 1001
Cell array of numeric vectors:
>> c = arrayfun(@(n)dec2bin(n)-'0',a,'uni',0);
>> c{:}
ans =
   1   1   0   0   1   1   0
ans =
   1   0
ans =
   1   1
ans =
   1   1   0   0   1   0   0   1
ans =
   1   0   0   0
ans =
   1   0   0   1
