Our latest paper, demonstrating how topological defects in smectic liquid crystals—specifically focal conic domains—can be utilized to detect different types of bacteria and measure their concentrations, has been published in Langmuir! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
I am so honored to have received the NSF CAREER Award. This recognition highlights the potential of our research and reflects the dedication and commitment of our exceptional research team at UMass Boston! umb.edu/news/recent-ne…
Hello everyone, If you know someone interested in pursuing a master's or Ph.D. in the physics of soft condensed materials and/or biophysics, please share our Lab information with them (gharbilab.com).
It was a wonderful week!!
Yesterday: wow scientists discover *ice* is elastic! #notaflagellum Today: *oil* droplets can grow and retract a tail-like elastic filament via a phase transition! (watch till the end for a surprise) #stillnotaflagellum doi.org/10.1038/s41567…
Imagine what AI powered machines will be able to do in the next 5-10 years. Boston Dynamics machines flawlessly and soulfully dancing in rhythm.
Happy #EarthDay 🌎 today! UMass Boston recently had the opportunity to install solar panels on two buildings that are now generating 1 million kilowatts every year.
Please consider submitting you paper to the Special Issue: Liquid Crystal Thin Films: Structures and Applications mdpi.com/si/51744 #mdpiapplsci via @Applsci. Deadline August 28, 2021!
This herd is in a pen (see end of video). It captures the strong social connectivity as seen in nature but this is not how they behave when threatened. They are constrained so the only collective motion they can exhibit is ‘milling’.
