Deciphering the mechanics of single cells and tissues with
Brillouin Light Scattering
Designing microscale phononic metamaterials and structures using biological matter
Thomas gave an invited talk on Brillouin microscopy in single cells at the Phonons 23 conference that was held in Paris
Professor Horacio Espinosa from Northwestern University (USA) visited our lab and gave a seminar entitled "micro- and nanotechnologies for cellular engineering".
Check out our recent paper on the dynamic formation of wrinkles in soft layered materials, published recently in Physical Review E, and led by colleagues at the U. of California San Diego.
Our colleagues Evguenije and Tijana, from the University of Novi Sad in Serbia, are visiting for some BioBrillouin experiments
A new paper with our colleagues at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology on the mechanism regulating cell wall stiffness in plant tissues is published in PNAS.
Our Applied Materials Today paper on the observation of a phononic metamaterial effect in onion cells received media coverage, and was highlighted in Le Journal de Mickey, Le Progrès magazine, and in a CNRS press release.
