We study the spreading of mercury droplets on thin metal (silver or gold) films on glass at room temperature, which is the only known system of reactive-wetting at room temperature. We show that there exist two main regimes, the bulk propagation regime and … Read More

María Pedrosa Bustos, a visiting PhD student from the Biocoloids and Fluid Physics Group of the University of Granada, will give a talk on "Biophysics approach in anticancer therapies: Studying anticancer drug interactions with extracted and model cell membranes by … Read More

We study the effect of curvature of the interface on the adsorption properties of water droplets. Using a computational approach we show a decrease in the adsorption strength with the droplet curvature, which is accompanied by a decrease of surface … Read More

I will expain our efforts in atomistic and coarse-grain simulations to provide useful information about SARS-CoV-2 and its interactions with materials and disinfecting chemicals. The meeting will take place online via Zoom: Meeting ID: 833 0750 1179 Passcode: bio

Adsorption of amphiphilic molecules to aqueous interfaces occurs in many technological and biological settings, sometimes desired (stabilization of foams), while other times not (contamination). I will discuss how atomistic computer simulations can help us elucidate molecular mechanisms of surfactant adsorption, … Read More

Journal club presentation by Sašo Grozdanov on Y. Choi, H. T. Lam, S.-H. Shao, Noninvertible Global Symmetries in the Standard Model, Phys. Rev. Lett., 129, 161601 (2022)   https://indico.ijs.si/event/1558/

When designing novel anticancer drugs, it is crucial to analyze how they interact with cell membranes. For this purpose, Langmuir monolayers have been widely used to mimic half of a cell membrane under controlled conditions. In this study, healthy and … Read More
