Of Chemistry, Technology, and Other Things (Vol1, Sept 2020)

Of Chemistry, Technology, and Other Things will provide you with recent (one issue every two months) publications in chemistry with a technology twist.

Usually I compile a list of papers I found interesting for our group (BioNanoTechnology). Papers in here can be of a very broad scope. Some of them are in here because we work on similar projects (nano, microfluidics, 3D printing, NMR, automatisation), some of them because it's a new field (mechanochemistry, magnetic levitation, out-of-equilibrium) , some of them just because I'm curious.
