Biology-inspired physics: smart membranes for sustainable applications

The environment around us is in a constant state of flux, influenced by myriad interwoven systems that adapt and recalibrate in response to diverse stimuli. This ever-changing landscape mirrors the dynamic functions of sustainable technologies, which are at the forefront of today’s innovations as the globe strives for net-zero emissions. Just as fluctuating weather conditions …

High-Dimensional analyses of 2D Materials meeting the immune system

ABSTRACT We recently depicted the “Nano-immunity-by-design” where the characterization of 2D materials is not solely based on their physical-chemical parameters but also on their immuneprofiling. [1] The immune-profiling can reveal its complexity in unique, informative ways: high-dimensional approaches. [2,3] We pioneered the development of high-dimensional analyses, such as single-cell mass cytometry and imaging mass cytometry …

The bifunctional formalism – functional design with specific functional derivatives

ABSTRACT Dr Finzel grew up at several different places in Germany and entered a high school with a special mathematics/physics program. She first got in touch with quantum mechanical calculations during her studies in the courses of Prof. Dr. Frenking and Prof. Dr. Holthausen at Philipps University Marburg. Quickly, she became very interested in the …

Light Years, Week Days

Light Years, Week Days, a site-specific installation that explores the movement of chimes and their unsystematic tinkling. Inspired by the Roman philosopher Pliny’s hypothesis that the constant movement of the air, earth, and planets creates a sweet harmonious music, the timing of the chimes’ tinkling can be indirectly controlled by selecting the pendulum’s length and …
