Published today in Scientific Reports 6, Article number: 29627 (2016). This work presents a theory that describes the stiffness of curved thin sheets with simple equations in terms of the longitudinal and transversal curvatures. The theory predicts experimental results with a macroscopic cantilever sheet as well as numerical simulations by the finite element method. The results shed…

European Research Council grants Dr. Calleja with 2,47 million euro to develop a high throughput spectrometric technique addressing single proteins from complex samples while in physiological conditions. The ERC Consolidator grant LIQUIDMASS proposes a new concept for protein spectrometry, by characterizing not only the mass, but also the hydrodynamic radius, geometry and stiffness of single…

 The SMMS technology has been developed by Valerio Pini et al.  With SMMS we get polarization-resolved spectral and spatial analysis of the scattered light over large surface areas. The SMMS technique provides three orders of magnitude faster spectroscopic analysis than conventional dark-field microspectrophotometry, with the capability for mapping the spatial distribution of the scattered light…
