Combining rheology and NMR/MRI methods is very useful! Check out the results of our collaboration with the Biophysics dept here.
High Field MicroMRI Velocimetric Measurement of Quantitative Local Flow Curves
High Field MicroMRI Velocimetric Measurement of Quantitative Local Flow Curves
MRI is a great tool to measure the flow behavior of all kinds of complex fluids.

Editorial: Non-local Modeling and Diverging Lengthscales in Structured Fluids
We wrote a little editorial on the relevance of non-local modeling in all kinds of structured fluids, such as polymeric systems, emulsions and granular media.

Visiting friend
Thanks Hu Zheng for visiting. It’s always a pleasure to host you.
Visiting SACMI, Imola
Thanks Riccardo Cenni for showing me around the site. Wonderful museum!
Bruker Tribolab
Welcome new workhorse for the group of Elke Scholten. I’m sure we want to borrow it every now and then!
Uncovering friction dynamics using hydrogel particles as soft ball bearings
Soft “third bodies” produce their own particular “Stribeck” curve, as we found out.

Visiting Pamplona
Visiting Raul Cruz was very pleasant. Thanks also to Tivadar for the hospitality and to Martin Pastor for a tour through Meler!
Transparent experiments: releasing data from mechanical tests on three dimensional hydrogel sphere packings
Granular material science often produces huge data sets that can be mined for years. Here we provide some of these data sets as open repositories, for everyone to use.
