Dynamics of particles in fluids: effects of correlations and interactions
(2022-01-24)Particles suspended in turbulent fluid flows are common in Nature and in technological applications. In some cases, the relative dynamics of spherical particles may be of interest. One example is small rain droplets in ... -
Mixing and Evaporation at the Cloud Edge and Angular Dynamics of Small Crystals in Viscous Flow
(2022-01-19)How liquid water in atmospheric clouds distributes over droplets of different sizes is important for the initiation of rainfall, and for the optical properties of the atmosphere. Droplet-number densities and droplet-size ... -
Frequency comb Brillouin microscopy
(2021-10-26)Brillouin light scattering (BLS), an almost a century-old technique, has evolved into a powerful and versatile method to study acoustic and magnetic phenomena down to the nanometer size scale. Presently, BLS can be applied ... -
Development and Applications of Microfluidic Devices for Liver-on-a-Chip Studies
(2021-10-12)Modeling the human physiology in vitro is a challenging task, yet one of importance for the development of drugs and the study of diseases. To better address the complexities of human organs, microfluidic systems called ... -
Thermodynamics of microscopic environments: From anomalous diffusion to heat engines
(2021-05-17)Till skillnad från deras makroskopiska motsvarigheter utvecklas inte mikroskopiska system deterministiskt på grund av inverkan från termiskt brus. Sådana system är föremål för fluktuationer som endast kan studeras inom ... -
Deep Learning Applications - From image analysis to medical diagnosis
(2021-05-11)Deep learning is a subcategory of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Instead of using explicit rules to perform a desired task as in standard algorithmic approaches, machine-learning algorithms autonomously learn ... -
Active Matter in a Critical State: From passive building blocks to active molecules, engines and droplets
(2020-12-19)The motion of microscopic objects is strongly affected by their surrounding environment. In quiescent liquids, motion is reduced to random fluctuations known as Brownian motion. Nevertheless, microorganisms have been able ... -
