Microfluidic Devices & Heterogeneous Systems Lab
Centre for Nano Science & Engineering (CeNSE), IISc
Congratulations Dr. Roopa and Shonkho for paper acceptance in IEEE sensors conference.
Congratulations Dr. Roopa on getting the SERB travel grant !
Our paper on the suppression of Liquid-Marble disintegration during impact is now online in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science.
The suppression is driven by an early onset of the interfacial instability which leads to the formation of finger-like structures (Liquid Flowers). Additional dissipation during the collapse and merging of the fingers suppresses LM disintegration.
Seven papers accepted in MicroTas 2023.
Congratulations Vinaya, Khuushi, Nilesh, Bheema, Rutvik, Ishita and Nishant!
