You are welcome to join us in lecture hall Kollektorn, MC2 with fika or on zoom. Our speaker is Karin Norling, Postdoc, Chemical Biology, Life Sciences. The seminar is titled "Probing liposome binding and deformation using multi-parametric surface plasmon resonance". Abstract: Liposomes are popular drug delivery carriers and often used to modulate cellular uptake. The initial binding of drug- or vaccine-carrying liposomes to the cell surface is a key step in the uptake process, although not trivial to characterize. Multi-parametric/dual-wavelength surface plasmon resonance (MP-SPR), is a label-free surface-based technique that provides quantification of bound mass as well as structural information in real-time. Here, we present an MP-SPR-based method to simultaneously study multivalent binding and binding-induced deformation of liposomes to a cell membrane mimic, and compare the interaction behavior of two different liposome types.The seminar is divided into two parts, where the first part consists of a pure overview of the field and is held on a generally accessible level (10 min). The second part will be more technical (15-20 minutes). Looking forward to seeing you live or on Zoom: https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/63018620593#success Best regards, Alexandra, Philippe, Christoph, and Janine -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Gothenburg Mesoscopic Lecture Message-ID: <76fe38e64dfb4fb986979ac95d2b80a4@chalmers.se> Dear all, Do not miss the conference "2D materials and devices, twisted layers incl. Gothenburg Mesoscopic Lecture". Date: 5 October - 6 October Location: Kollektorn, MC2 Last sign-up date: 25 September The discovery, five years ago, by Pablo Jarillo-Herrero that two layers of graphene put on top of each other with a magic angle of 1.1 degrees will form a Moir? material with a periodicity much larger than the graphene unit cell, flat electron bands, resulting in a metallic state and tunable superconductivity at low temperature. Several other phases may occur as ferroelectricity, magnetism, and correlated insulator. The field is sometimes called "twistronics". Large research activity concerns not only graphene but also other two-dimensional layers that form quantum Moir? matter. Two-dimensional matter has been a fruitful research area with rich, controllable phenomena and important applications. Pablo Jarillo-Herrero will give the 2023 Gothenburg Mesoscopic Lecture, sponsored by the Nobel Institute of Physics. It will be an introduction to a symposium, arranged together with the Area of Advance Nano concerning properties and applications of 2D electron gases, particularly Moir? matter. Several international and national researchers will give reviews and details of a fashionable and fascinating field of research. Read more about the program and sign up here!

You are welcome to join us in lecture hall Kollektorn, MC2 with fika or on zoom. Our speaker is Simon Pettersson Fors, Doctoral Student, Applied Quantum Physics, Microtechnology and Nanoscience. The seminar is titled ?Quantum gates: What does a quantum computer need to compute?. Abstract: Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems in logistics, physics, and medicine that the most powerful computers of today struggle with. For instance, they could help with the discovery of more efficient materials and new drugs to treat diseases with. However, one of the major challenges we currently face in the attempt to build a quantum computer is that the computing operations are faulty and prone to errors. In this talk, I will present how these operations, called quantum gates, are physically implemented, and what we are doing to improve them. The seminar is divided into two parts, where the first part consists of a pure overview of the field and is held on a generally accessible level (10 min). The second part will be more technical (15-20 minutes).
