Using Old Laboratory Equipment with Modern Web-of-Things Standards: a Smart Laboratory with LabThings Retro
Samuel McDermott, Jurij Kotar, Joel Collins +3
There has been an increasing, and welcome, Open Hardware trend towards science teams building and sharing their designs for new instruments. These devices, often built upon low-cos…
Direct Measurement of Unsteady Microscale Stokes Flow Using Optically Driven Microspheres
Nicolas Bruot, Pietro Cicuta, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadelha +4
A growing body of work on the dynamics of eukaryotic flagella has noted that their oscillation frequencies are sufficiently high that the viscous penetration depth of unsteady Stok…
Two Microspheres in an External Flow: a Dance of Cause and Effect
Golnaz Najafi Gol-Vandani, Simone Di Leo, Jurij Kotar +2
In low Reynolds number swimming and pumping, differently to everyday experience, a net motion (or flow) can be achieved only if the constructing parts of the swimmer (or pump) foll…
Optical trapping of colloids at a liquid-liquid interface
Alessio Caciagli, Darshana Joshi, Jurij Kotar +1
We demonstrate the realization of (laterally) optically bounded colloidal structures on a liquid-liquid interface of an emulsion droplet. We use DNA tethers to graft the particles…
Melting transition in lipid vesicles functionalised by mobile DNA linkers
S. J. Bachmann, J. Kotar, L. Parolini +4
We study phase behaviours of lipid--bilayer vesicles functionalised by ligand--receptor complexes made of synthetic DNA by introducing a modelling framework and a dedicated experim…
Volume and porosity thermal regulation in lipid mesophases by coupling mobile ligands to soft membranes
Lucia Parolini, Bortolo M. Mognetti, Jurij Kotar +3
Short DNA linkers are increasingly being exploited for driving specific self-assembly of Brownian objects. DNA-functionalised colloids can assemble into ordered or amorphous materi…
