    Abstract : Today many cell biological techniques study large cell populations where an average estimate of individual cells’ behavior is observed. On the other hand, single cell analysis is required for studying functional heterogeneities between cells within populations. READ MORE

  4. 14. On droplet interactions and suspension flow

    Author : Zhouyang Ge; Luca Brandt; François Gallaire; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; droplets; suspension; multiphase flow; microfluidics; soft matter; rheology; depletion force; level set; ghost fluid.; droppar; suspension; flerfasflöde; mikrofluidik; mjukt material; reologi; utarmningskraft; nivåuppsättning; spökvätska.; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Micron to millimetre sized droplets, precisely generated or sustained in controlled environment, have great potential in myriads of engineering applications functioning as the basic element to assemble metamaterials, deliver drugs, host surfactant, reduce friction and damp turbulence. The interaction of droplets from pairwise to collective levels is the most important factor in controlling these processes, yet little is known about the detailed mechanisms in various nonideal conditions.
