August 2017: Paper accepted in Advanced Materials Technologies
In this paper, Dr. Das teams up with Dr. Hines’ group at the LPS to propose a new technology of developing 3-D printed fillet based interconnects for electrically connecting components on different vertical planes on a chip. This is Yuan’s second paper from the group…many congratulations Yuan.
July 2017: Paper accepted in Soft Matter
In this paper a dynamic theory for the inverted Cheerios effect (multiple drops interacting on a soft solid) is proposed. This paper is the result of Dr. Das’ work with Prof. Snoeijer’s group at University of Twente.
July 2017: Paper accepted in Applied Physics Letters
In this paper analytical Poisson-Boltzmann formulation has been provided to show a highly intriguing sitauion where a lipid bilayer plasma membrane may develop a positive zeta potential. This is Shayandev’s14th paper and Jing’s 3rd paper from the group….heartiest congratulations both !!!!
