Tracking scents to their source: an electronic nose that can follow odoursThanks to the MESA+ Safety & Security Grant, Sissi de Beer, associate professor within the Department of Molecules and Materials, was able to accelerate her research. Her goal is to develop an electronic nose that can not only detect odours but also locate their source.Read more
Synthetic Bacteria: From swarms to life-like materialsInspired by the collective dynamics of bacteria like E. coli and Bacillus subtilis, researchers at the University of Twente asked a simple but fundamental question: what happens when artificial swimmers are made rod-shaped rather than spherical, and how does shape control how they move as a group? "These dumb yet active rods follow only the laws of physics, which help to uncover the mechanics of collective bacterial behaviour," says Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri. Their findings appear on the cover of Science.Read more
