Understanding liquid metal deposition for the production of stretchable electronics from 2D manufacturing, over 3D to continuous processing Hasselt University
3D strain fields for functional 4D material design: A unifying computational protocol to tune the phase stability of strain-engineered nanostructured materials Ghent University
Tuneable nanostructured materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are highly promising contenders for various pressing technological challenges, from efficient photovoltaic devices to high-performant shock absorbers. Their highly modifiable atomic structure and polymorphism, which can lead to large-amplitude phase transitions in response to small changes in structural composition or external ...

Advanced 2D and 3D chemical imaging using laser ablation ICP - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and complementary multimodal techniques via image fusion Ghent University
Laser ablation-ICP-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) can be used for visualizing the distribution of (trace) elements across any solid material with high spatial resolution. The recent development of low-dispersion LA cells has provided gains in throughput and sensitivity of 2-3 orders of magnitude compared to conventional cells. The project focuses on development of methodologies for high-resolution 2D & 3D imaging of samples of a wide range ...

From 2D to 3D crystals: a multi-scale, multi-technique and multi-system approach of the crystallization of organic molecules KU Leuven
The occurrence of two or more crystal structures for a given molecule, a phenomenon which is called polymorphism, is ubiquitous to various classes of synthetic and natural compounds. Examples of polymorphism are known in numerous application fields, such as food, explosives, pigments, semiconductors, fertilizers, and pharmaceutical drugs. Different crystal structures, so-called polymorphs, of the same compound exhibit sometimes very different ...
Characterization of porous geomaterials in 2D and 3D Ghent University
Optical and fluorescence microscopy visualizes pores in 2D. CT data allows characterization of complex pores in 3D. This urges for a calibrated system by fusing the standard fluorescence and petrographical microscopy images with 3D data of the high-resolution CT scanners. By fusion of XRF data, a correct characterization of geomaterials will be obtained in a structurally and chemically calibrated way.

Microfluidics for single-cell omics. the C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep System, BioMark HD System and IFC controllers (Fluidigm) for single-cell analyses KU Leuven
Advances in whole-genome and whole-transcriptome amplification have permitted the sequencing of the DNA and RNA present in a single cell, offering a window into the extent and nature of genomic and transcriptomic heterogeneity which occurs in both normal development and disease. Single-cell approaches are revolutionising our capacity to understand the scale of genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic diversity that occurs during the lifetime of ...
