We are currently out of cute bunny pics, so let me use this high-speed (5400 fps) recording of a sparkler to wish all readers and colleagues a Happy Easter!
Another high speed recording: methylene blue colored water droplets falling into a Petri dish.
Members of our group enjoy science so much that they even play with the instruments in their spare time. Here is a high-speed recording of the ignition of a butane lighter for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
The newest addition to our publications on the modification of titanate nanowires is the paper accepted for publication today in the e-Journal of Surface Science and Nanotechnology (2014). Congratulations to all co-authors!
The last major equipment for the liquid/solid interaction study has arrived: a Sartorius Cubis MSU225S-000-DU model, with 0.01 mg readability, 220 g weighing capacity, internal, isoCAL adjustment, high-resolution black and white, 5.7”, graphic display and RS-232 25-pin interface. The balance is capable to record the weight variation for relatively high speed processes and transmit the data to a computer. Combined with other methods we hope to elucidate the basis of solvent evaporation phenomena from porous nanomaterial assemblies.

Good news: our paper "Synthesis of ZnS nanocrystals within Maleic Anhydride-Octene-1-Vinylbutyl ether terpolymer template and its characterizations" was accepted for publication in the International Journal of Advanced Chemical Technology. This is a special paper because it is the first written public result of the FP7 "NAPEP" project which was recently concluded. NAPEP allowed us to get acquinted and make friends with some excellent scientist working at the Baku State University, Baku, Azerbaijan. This paper was expertly managed by Elvin. Y. Malikov, a bright PhD student with nice career prospect in science. More NAPEP papers and a follow-up H2020 project are underway.
Major good news to start 2014 with: our paper "Water-induced changes in the charge-transport dynamics of titanate nanowires" was accepted for publication in Langmuir today! Written by Henrik Haspel and co-authored by Valéria Bugris and myself, this is a rather thorough analysis of the charge transport dynamics of titanate nanowires. It is a nice work on chemical physics and fits perfectly into the fluid-solid interaction research program of our Lendület group.
This is just to wish all readers of this blog a very happy and successful new year! Our research activity is gaining momentum now, I hope to report many nice results in 2014 so please check back often for news! :)
