Crystal building: let tiny magnets do the jobTiny magnetic balls are a popular toy for building great 3D shapes. Imagine you’d want to use this principle for building crystal structures by self-assembly, is a spheroid still the best building block? A cuboid, maybe, or a cylinder? Researchers of the University of Twente demonstrate that, in a turbulent water flow, not spheroids but cylinders will form the most regular crystal shape. The work is presented in Science Advances of May 8.Read more
1.5 million for infection control spinoff LipoCoatLipoCoat, a biotech spin-off from the University of Twente has received additional funding of 1.5 million euros from several investors. The funding comes from Dutch informal investors, the High Tech Fund from Enschede and Innovation Fund Rabobank. The additional funding allows LipoCoat to bring innovations in infection control to market faster, the importance of which is all too clear in these times of coronavirus.Read more
