As we progress with our Fastcomet, it is time to share our new updates. This time with a cool video. A special highlight is explaining the intricacies of the topic to young students.

A second Multiplane microscope for Fastcomet is under construction. #colloidalmemory
🔬🚧Building yet another microscope at Hofkens lab. In the age of commercial microscopes, we scavenge our old setups and customize our own. @Fastcomet_EIC Exciting time ahead! #Microscopybuilding #opticaltrapping #colloidalmemory #scienceInnovation #risefromtheashes

A method very dear to us. As we are expanding this line of research with the recent reinforcement from @FWOVlaanderen , stay tuned for exciting updates.
Scientists say "good science takes time"—it took us almost 4 years, in fact! Introducing CLIM: A gateway to explore the inner workings of solar cells & delve into local photophysics. @HofkensLab @boris_p_louis @vaynzof @lund_sms @AdvPortfolio #Innovations onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Very cool! Intriguing world of nanoparticles #colloid,#directionalmotion,#particletracking
🔬 Nanoparticles flocking like birds! Core-shell nanoparticles (200 nm gold, 100 nm silica) swarm under laser irradiation, mimicking flocking birds! 🐦 Rotate them by changing light polarization. Learn more in our latest paper @acsnano : doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.4c10…

A completely new story from our team: we developed fluorescent polymeric nanorods and showed their capacity to massively enter cells leading to ultrabright cell labelling. Congrats to co-authors! It is out in ChemRxiv: go.shr.lc/3Okds0m @CNRS_Alsace

A fine collaboration among the #Fastcomet_EIC consortium
A big shoutout to Boris and the entire team. This beautiful work explains intriguing effect of silica shell thickness on the optical binding of gold particles.@HofkensLab @LizMarzan_Lab @Rocha_Lab @RogerObach @rdbuscalioni @ProfMasuhara. @Fastcomet_EIC pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Despite the red alert of heavy rainfall in Barcelona, we kicked off our first annual progress meeting at IQS. Partners had more to show and discuss than the time could permit. We received a very encouraging feedback from the Industrial advisory board to lift the spirit.

Pretty much every week we generate this logo of @X through dielectrophoretic trapping of colloidal partilces in quadrupole devices. Each time one step ahead in finding antagonistic partilces.

Since the launch of the FastComet last year, progress has been rapid on Colloidal Memory. The chips are fabricated, colloidal particles are synthesized, successful dielectrophoretic trapping of these particles are shown demonstrated. Stay tuned for exciting updates
