New preprint! Do you like ocean waves? We found similar waves on bacterial colonies! We found that this collective behavior, known as rippling, is nothing but surface waves on an active nematic. @princeton.edu @mpipks.bsky.social @ub.edu @icreacommunity.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
PAPER OUT ✨ What if you could use your microscope as a 3D printer? Prototype microfluidics in-house, <5$ in material costs per chip. From idea to experiment within a day. Now published in Lab-on-a-Chip (open-access): doi.org/10.1039/D5LC...
Teach your microscope how to print: low-cost and rapid-iteration microfabrication for biology
The application of traditional microfabrication techniques to biological research is hindered by their reliance on clean rooms, expensive or toxic materials, and slow iteration cycles. We present an a...
