Poster prize at MicroTAS conference for Anke VollertsenWe are very proud of the achievements of Anke Vollertsen in close collaboration with Stefan Dekker to win a poster prize on the MicroTAS conference out of a total of 700 presented posters. MicroTAS is a peer-reviewed conference focusing on Lab-on-Chip systems and Microfluidics, enabling applications in life sciences and chemistry.Read more
MESA+ day poster prize Josh Loessberg-Zahl and Douwe de BruijnJosh Loessberg-Zahl and Douwe de Bruin received a poster prize at MESA+ day for discovery and characterization of voltage mediated delamination in suspended 2D material systems. Suspended 2D material systems are used for biomolecule sensing and DNA sequencing. In these systems, the 2D material sits across a pore in a ceramic substrate and when a voltage is applied across substrate, the 2D material blocks the majority of the electrical current. The high electrical resistance of the 2D material is critical for reducing noise during bio molecule sensing. Unfortunately, under application of higher voltages, the resistance of the material is seen to break down catastrophically. Previous studies have written this off as electro-chemical breakdown of the graphene, but researchers at UTwente found the process to be reversible, indicating that something more complex was occurring.Read more
