Microbially induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP) is one of the major sustainable alternatives to the artificial cementation of granular media. MICP consists of injecting the soil with bacterial- and calcium-rich solutions sequentially to ...
In this work we dive into key questions regarding the wetting of a nanoscale droplet which
provides fundamental understanding of Vapor-Liquid-Solid growth mode of nanowires. This
understanding is important to performreproducible NW fabrication and allow th ...
The field of geotechnics is moving fast towards benefiting from new methods and tools to improve the understanding of couplings among complex transport, chemical and biological phenomena. Calcite bio-mineralization, result of bio-grouting, stands out as su ...

Droplet microfluidics are characterized by the generation and manipulation of discrete volumes of solutions, generated with the use of immiscible phases. Those droplets can then be controlled, transported, analyzed or their content modified. In this wide d ...
Inspired by nature, a common way to create hydrophobic surfaces is by introducing hierarchical and fractal microstructures on surface. While plenty of studies have demonstratedcreating PDC (polymer derived ceramic) for several applications include SiC-fibe ...
We combine theory, numerical simulation, and experiments to investigate the breakup of two identical droplets entering a Y-junction with controlled spatial offset by which the second droplet trails the first. Based on fully resolved 3D simulations, we desc ...

Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...
Liquid-liquid microfluidic systems rely on the intricate control over the fluid properties of either miscible or immiscible mixtures. Herein, we report on the use of partially miscible binary liquid mixtures that lend their microfluidic properties from a h ...
In contrast to conventional microfluidics, where liquids are typically manipulated within closed channels, open-space microfluidics has emerged as a new class of techniques that are well suited for ver-satile interaction with biological substrates. In part ...
