Soft Material Mechanical Behavior “Round Robin”

To enhance the comparability and reproducibility of soft matter mechanical data across laboratories, we are launching a brief, community-driven inter-laboratory validation. We have prepared agarose gel calibration samples for measuring the mechanical properties of soft matter and invite laboratories to participate in a short inter-laboratory validation. Modalities: AFM and nanoindentation What’s involved: Receive sample set + brief protocol (+AFM probes if needed) Measure … Read more

MecaNano Winter School on Research Data Management

A LOOK “UNDER THE HOOD” OF AN RDM SYSTEM Digitization has increased the effectiveness and sustainability of scientific workflows tremendously. Today we can use systems that, while we generate research data, associate, keep track and manage related contextual (meta)data in a digital and (semi-)automated manner. At the same time many labs stand at the brink … Read more
