What happens if you slowly evaporate a droplet containing dissolved particles? The question sounds simple, but it involves a surprising amount of basic physics and mathematics. Hanneke Gelderblom of the University of Twente devoted a full four years of research to this problem.
Researchers from the University of Twente’s MESA+ and MIRA research institutes have succeeded in visualizing THC, the active ingredient of cannabis, in intact plant structures.
Nanotechnologists
at the University of Twente’s MESA+ research institute have developed a tiny
chip that makes it easy to create micrometre scale gradients. Gradients
are gradual transitions in specific properties, such as acidity. This newly-developed system can be used to
efficiently measure the reaction kinetics of various chemical or biological
reactions.
