Super happy to share our recent work in Advanced Materials! We’ve created microcapsule arrays that autonomously “report” stress variations at the microscale by lighting up with various fluorescences.

Ever seen how elastomers fail?
🎉Thrilled to share our latest publication "Elastomers Fail from the Edge", led by Nan Xue, in @PhysRevX!
Find out how "edge" cracks play a key role in understanding this fracture process
@SoftLiv_Cornell @ETH_Materials @LASSP_Cornell @CornellMSE
The fracture properties of elastomers depend on sample thickness because of the surprisingly three-dimensional nature of the fracture process.

The main result is in the title: "Phase-separated droplets swim to their dissolution".
Explanations below 🧵👇

Hate polymers? Help us destroy them with depolymerization and chemical recycling!
We have two fully funded PhD positions in Polymer Chemistry at ETH! Come be our colleague! @AnastasakiLab

Etienne's @EJambonP and Eric's preprint "Phase-Separated Droplets Swim to Their Dissolution" is out! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
This new swimming mechanism that we call "dialytaxis" could impact intracellular transport and turn protein droplets into robots. @ETH_Materials @Cornell

We are so pleased to announce that Katharine Jensen of Williams College has been selected as the 2023 Adhesion Society Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award winner. Can't wait to hear her talk at our next meeting in Savannah!

What happens if you add highly swelling particles to silicone elastomer matrices? You get Hydroelastomers! Check out our new @softmatter paper in collaboration with @SoftLiv_ETH and @SMaL_EPFL . pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Hey #science twitter!
Everyone knows that #freezing breaks stuff, but how does this happen? Most of the time, it’s not actually what most people think.
Here's our 🧵on Dominic's and Rob's recent paper on #ice ❄️☃️

#PhaseSeparation is art. Maria's and Eric's paper about the beautiful patterns of the cell wall of #diatoms formed by phase separation is out in @PNASNews! Congratulations to all authors! Stay tuned for our paper thread 🧵#crochet

As cool as #ice❄️and hot off the press🔥: Dominic's and Rob's paper on how ice induces damage in freezing #softmatter is out in @PNASNews ! Congratulations to all authors! What's going on when #water freezes? Stay tuned for our paper thread soon🧵
