  1. Watching Waves on the Nanoscale

    It’s tough to simulate nonlinear wave dynamics, so scientists often test theories in wave flumes, where they can create more controlled waves than what we see in the wild. But conventional wave flumes are big–meters-long, complicated equipment–and can only test a small range of conditions. To reach more extreme nonlinear dynamics, researchers have turned to a chip-based approach. These 100-micron-long wave flumes carry a film of superfluid helium less than 7 nanometers thick. But despite that tiny size, the system can reach levels of nonlinearity five orders of magnitude greater than their full-sized counterparts. (Image and research credit: M.

  10. One of my new colleagues, Guido Bolognesi has a very cool studentship going in pretty wacky soft solid chemistry:

    📣📣📣
    #PhD #studentship available in my new lab
    @uclchemistry to work on phoretic and #optical #manipulation of #colloids, #liposomes in #microfluidics devices for #healthcare and #diagnostics applications.

    Apply by 13th March
    Start Date: Oct 2023

  11. Do you know those annoying layer lines on #3Dprinted parts? In resin #3Dprinters, they are as small as 25 microns… And we can make #microfluidics molds with these printers. Does this mean we can reach 25 microns features in Z?

    YES! We can make a mold for a “staircase” microfluidic device. Now we have steps of 25um on the height of the channel. This #microfluidic does not only filter #microparticles, but also size-sort them. Particles of different sizes will be blocked on different steps.

  12. Excited to share my very first paper which was just published in #JACS:

    pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.

    In this work carried out during my PhD together with Jamie Klein, Tomasz Kaminski, and Pierre-Yves Colin in the Hollfelder Lab at #UniversityofCambridge we evolve a #phosphotriesterase with a new, metal-independent mechanism by using droplet #microfluidics.

    Comments and feedback welcome! A thread: (1/6)
