A Hele-Shaw system was used by University of Chicago MRSEC researchers, Sidney Nagel and Heinrich Jaeger and their research groups, to explore the zero-surface-tension properties of granular "fluids."Â’ Theoretically, it was determined by Paul Wiegmann, also at the
Researchers, Dmitri Talapin and collaborators, at the University of Chicago MRSEC have been studying electronic properties of new nanoscale materials consisting of both magnetic and semiconducting components (FePt and PbS).Â’ These components are integrated into i
As part of a series of studies on the green chemistry of poly(l-lactides), we have performed a theoretical study of the mechanism of ring-opening polymerization.
This project leverages ongoing research on the dynamics of DNA and vescicles within CPIMA.Â’ We have developed a novel microfluidic four-roll mill that allows all flow types (from extension to shear to rotation) to be accessed and have previously used it to examine DNA tumbling in mixed flows and, most recently, to study vesicle dynamics.
