Research drop 🚀 Happy to see my PhD work on colour-changing hydrogel sensors for urea detection published on @softmatter🎉 Big thanks to the @Haddletongroup @warwickuni and @Unilever for the collaboration and funding. Published and free to read here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our recent work: Separating a monodisperse mixture of active and passive particles through an elastic meshwork. This work is a part of Soft Matter 20th Anniversary Collection. @softmatter @ramanan42502165 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Poster deadline extended to 3 March 2025 for our @Faraday_D #FD_Gels Want to showcase your #supramolecular research? You now have one week to send us your abstract. Contribute to our understanding of this exciting field: rsc.li/gels-fd2025

Stickiness matters! From powder handling to geophysical flows, cohesion in granular material plays a crucial role. We review in @softmatter experimental approaches to create and control inter-particle adhesion pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @ClarkSchool @UCSBengineering

“One- and two-particle microrheology of soft materials based on optical-flow image analysis”. Our new article (with @FabioGiavazzi @manuescobedo @squishycell1) in @softmatter shows you simpler way to microrheology pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Excited to share the latest work from the RheoDLS lab (@RanjiniRRI) in @softmatter! Using optical tweezer electrophoresis, we explored clay nanoplatelet adsorption on latex microspheres and gained new insights into colloidal stabilization. pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Why don't patchy particles with DNA-like interactions yield the cubic diamond selectively? We give a plausible explanation based on the similarity to the anitferromagnetic systems in our recent article in @softmatter Find out more in the link below! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Happy Lunar New Year from everyone on the Soft Matter team! May you enjoy a prosperous and productive year of the Snake!

Do you know an outstanding early-career researcher who deserves recognition for their contribution to biomaterials? Nominate before the 31 December deadline! Find the full details on eligibility and nomination here: blogs.rsc.org/bm/2024/09/19/…

We're delighted to be supporting the @tamugsspc on bonds that matter: soft materials for a sustainable world with @RSC_Sus @softmatter and @PolymChem ! Find out more about this exciting symposium at sites.google.com/tamu.edu/gsspc…

This “osmotic spawning” behavior of GUVs does not rely on chemical reactions or functional macromolecules. Therefore, this cascade division system is compatible with various chemical systems and has the potential to implement proliferation ability in artificial cells, drug delivery systems, and protocells simply by modifying their membrane compartments and osmolytes. @softmatter @KurisuMinoru #Science #Chemistry #Technology #News
