Det blev en ny uppdatering ganska snart igen. Min student Magdalena har jobbat hårt med sin roterande droppe de senaste åren för att få praktisk nytta av systemet. Vi har publicerat ett par artiklar tidigare om den roterande droppen, men då har det mest handlat om att visa upp den […]
Nu var det rätt länge sedan jag uppdaterade bloggen med mina vetenskapliga publikationer. Hade tänkt att göra det tidigare, men väntade på att kunna beskriva en grupp artiklar på samma ämne – jontransfer mellan organiska lösningar och vatten. Vatten och olja blandas som bekant inte, men ämnen som är lösta […]
I was in Katowice over the weekend to attend a concert by Bobby McFerrin. I’ve seen him a couple of times before when he visited Poland and his concerts are always an amazing display of the versatility of the human voice. This time he was accompanied by the group Gimme […]
I just finished reading Emily Lakdawalla‘s “The Design and Engineering of Curiosity: How the Mars Rover Performs Its Job“. It’s a remarkable book, even though it’s not quite the book that I expected. The first few chapters describes the general design and mission of the rover – how it came […]
I saw this tweet from New Scientist about the Kepler mission. Kepler of course was an amazing mission that completely changed our view of the universe. But the numbers got me thinking a bit about the cost of a scientific publication. It says that 2946 scientific papers were published, I […]
Did a wordcloud of my articles from last year. It seems quite reasonable. Electrode is the biggest word with sample, surface, figure and other general “experimental” nouns also high on the list. We can see verbs like used, using, can, and so on that are also very generic. Would it […]
Like most people that have grown up hearing the stories of World War 2, coloured through the lenses of Hollywood and British and American writes, I thought I knew all about the brave pilots of the RAF defeating the Luftwaffe and the heroes of Bletchley Park cracking the Enigma codes. […]
I really have too little time to read! I love reading, and I read a lot – just that the last couple of years I read very few books. It’s more stuff for work: articles, manuscripts to review, things students write… But to summarise last year: I managed to read […]
In the end of October last year I visited Shenzhen in China for a few days to participate in a meeting organised by a colleague of mine who is now working as guest-professor at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) We spent a few days being ushered around […]
I thought I’d just add a few photos from a quite nice family hiking trip in Austria this summer. We were in Ramsau am Dachstein. A really lovely area for hiking and relaxing a few days. Some more pictures can be found in the album here.
