Silo discharge of mixtures of soft and rigid grains
Congratulations Bo, Jing and Tivadar with their publication in Soft Matter, including this nice image for the back cover.
Lecturing at the JMBC course “Experimental Methods in Fluid Mechanics”
Great course, which has been running for years. Glad to have attended as a student, and now good to be a lecturer here!
Training PhD students in Granular Physics
And some other wonderful training sessions in Budapest, Paris and Grenoble…
Raisa Rudge graduated
Amazing accomplishments from Raisa!
The SmartDust team can do microgravity experiments in Bremen!
The team of students from Otto von Guericke University, where our collaborator Ralf Stannarius works, will do granular gas experiments with balls equipped with smart sensors!
Molecular control over vitrimer-like mechanics – tuneable dynamic motifs based on the Hammett equation in polyimine materials
Cool polymer rheology work showing the potential of covalent adaptable networks to obtain new material properties – together with the group of Maarten Smulders.
Mushroom-shaped adhesives stick!
Congratulations Preeti and Vittorio with getting the article out in Biointerphases. Thanks also to Vincent for contributing to this study through his MSc thesis work.
Natural and induced surface roughness determine frictional regimes in hydrogel pairs
The name says it all. Hydrogels come with very different surface roughnesses, which gives them different frictional behavior.
High Field MicroMRI Velocimetric Measurement of Quantitative Local Flow Curves
Combining rheology and NMR/MRI methods is very useful! Check out the results of our collaboration with the Biophysics dept here.
