Abstract: Starch as a food-grade thickener has been commonly used in food products to modulate textural properties. Improving viscosity-enhancing ability, so as to be able to use less starch for the same texture, has been considered… read more here.

Abstract: Many systems in chemical and biological physics involve diffusing particles being trapped by absorbing patches on otherwise reflecting surfaces. Such systems are commonly studied by boundary homogenization, in which the heterogenous boundary condition on the… read more here.

Abstract: Microsphere-assisted super-resolution imaging is a promising technique that can significantly enhance the resolution of conventional optical microscopes. The focus of a classical microsphere is called photonic nanojet, which is a symmetric high-intensity electromagnetic field. Recently,… read more here.

Abstract: We present an atomistic molecular dynamics study of self-assembled mikto-arm stars, which resemble patchy-like particles. By increasing the number of stars in the system, we propose a systematic way of examining the mutual orientation of… read more here.
