What can microfluidic technologies offer during self-assembly processes? Josep Puigmartí-Luis, Departament de Ciència dels Materials i Química Física, Institut de Química Teòrica i Computacional (invited by César Rodriguez-Emmenegger) Self-assembly has long being used to control covalent and non-covalent interactions where molecular design has been the major driving force to achieve a desired outcome. Like in ... Read more
Toward the next generation of 3D optical microscopes: faster, deeper, and label-free Martí Duocastella, Departament de Fisica Aplicada, Universitat de Barcelona Three-dimensional (3D) optical microscopy is the tool of choice for characterizing the structure and dynamics of biological systems at sub-cellular resolution. However, most microscope architectures are tailored to capture two-dimensional (2D) information from moderately ... Read more
