Particle Microfluidics Group at 39th European Colloid and Interface Society / UK Colloids meeting in Bristol.

Our group had a great time at the 39th #ECIS and #UK #Colloids #conference in #Bristol last week. It was great to listen to many inspiring talks, catch up with colleagues and meet new ones. Really a lovely week of science, working hard... and partying hard too!

It was a great day at the 7th meeting of the UCL Cross-disciplinary Network on Soft Materials. Very much enjoyed giving a keynote talk and hearing excellent research talks and poster presentations on biology, chemistry, materials science and engineering.

and many thanks to the organisers @dlopezbarreiro.bsky.social and Sabrina Simoncelli !

Well done Adnan Chakra (lead author) and the whole team: Christina Puijk, Goran Vladisavljevic, Cecile Cottin-Bizonne and Christophe Pirat

New paper out in JCIS 🚀
Check out how surface conduction in #microfluidics #diffusiophoresis enables passive and continuous separation of #nanoparticles with identical chemistry but different surface charge group concentrations
