Lateral Organic Devices

Background: Most organic devices, from organic light emitting diodes to organic spintronic devices vertical devices, where the essential interfaces are buried and thus not subject to investigation.

The MRSEC Microfluidics

 

During the academic year, Fall09 - Spring10, Dr. Kim, the facility director ,designed, built and tested devices for a number of MRSEC and outside users.

Active Emulsion droplet arrays

Stabilized emulsions containing the oscillating Belousov - Zhabotinsky chemical reaction (BZ) show interesting dynamics. Each drop acts as an independent chemical clock. However, they chemically communicate and exhibit collective behavior. In (a) six BZ drops are contained in a  capillary tube. The  white bars

How the weak becomes strong: spider silk reveals a paradox of super-strength

Since its development in China thousands of years ago, silk from silkworms, spiders and other insects has been used for high-end, luxury fabrics as well as for parachutes and medical sutures. Now, MRSEC
