Rotating cells
This is the main page of the rotating cells project.
Time line
-16.03. First online meeting within the electrorotation group, in which we introduced each other and talked about our backgrounds and research interests.
-24.03. Online seminar about electrorotation and ponderomotive forces in general given by Prof. Jan Gimsa from the University of Rostock.
-29.03. Second online meeting within the electrorotation group before Easter break where we discussed our plan of action. First thing on the to-do list is to develop instrumentation that enables electrorotation.
-08.04. Some members of the team got started on develop the instrumentation. The prototype has been developed and checked on a breadboard. The results were not perfect and needs more work.
-13.04. Third online meeting within the electrorotation group.
Project progression
- We need to start to develop the instrumentation that enables electrorotation. We got already the electrodes for it (see Fig. 1) and just need to add some small electrical circuit that enables the application of an alternating electrical field.
