New article on cellulose nanocrystals

Christina_CNC-Langmuir-2015A new result from our fruitful collaboration with Stockholm University on cellulose nanocrystal suspensions appeared as an ASAP article in Langmuir today. It contains the best measurements of helix pitch in equilibrium cholesteric suspensions to date, based on a combination of x-ray and optical diffraction measurements. You can find the paper here.

Mathew Schwartz visits us

MatSpeaksOur collaborator at the Advanced Institutes of Convergence Technology (Suwon, Korea), Mathew Schwartz, visits the ESMP group in the beginning of May, giving a talk entitled "Research problem finding and solving through Art and Design". In connection to this visit we had intense discussion around our work on soft robotics within the project INTERACT.
