Two UT researchers backed by ERC to bring research findings to marketTwo UT researchers have been granted Proof of Concept funding by the European Research Council (ERC). Detlef Lohse and Jeroen Rouwkema will receive a financial contribution to explore the further commercial and innovation potential of their research. Detlef Lohse will use his Grant to develop a ‘nano extraction’ prototype. This will enable fast, one step liquid analysis using nano droplets, while Jeroen Rouwkema will be developing a novel method for building vascular networks within cultured tissues.Read more
Mikado in a nano boxWhen you shake a box filled with Mikado sticks, will you get a uniform spreading of the sticks inside the box? This question touches Bertrand’s paradox, a classic in mathematics. In 2D, this is already an intriguing question, so what if you move to 3D? And, to make it more complex, what if you want to know how big the holes are between the sticks – ‘chords’ in mathematics -. For designing nano mikado boxes for photonics purposes, scientists of the University of Twente wanted to be able to determine the free space between the sticks. They now come up with a method using tiny moveable balls blowing up. This method is published in Physical Review E.Read more
