We love interactions, in particular with particles
Amazing accomplishments from Raisa!
Fortunately we now have recorded lectures to serve as flipped classroom material! Thanks Peter for editing.
This year the Advanced Soft Matter practicum has a project related to the Smart Dust team. The Smart Dust team will be doing drop tower experiments in Bremen, to detect the collective behavior of a set of “smart” particles.
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!
Onsager reciprocity is a pain to explain… Even with Callen‘s help!
Cool polymer rheology work showing the potential of covalent adaptable networks to obtain new material properties – together with the group of Maarten Smulders.
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.
Especially not with cocktail demos. The cola does get old though. The wipes make it a corona proof on-campus activity!
The name says it all. Hydrogels come with very different surface roughnesses, which gives them different frictional behavior.
