- This new, oscillatory fluidic junction, enables the ‘packaging’ of double emulsions into triple emulsions of precision complexity and consistency, as multi-compartmentalised proto-cellular chassis’ that could not be previously undertaken (https://www.comsol.com/blogs/analyzing-a-new-droplet-forming-fluidic-junction-with-simulation/). The ability to compartmentalise different fluids within defined cores of a two-phase, triple emulsion droplet, together with an outer, solidified shell (as exemplified in another output 10.1002/anie.201607571) fundamentally contributed to the award, in 2019, of a €5 million, 4 year, EU-FET-Proactive Grant (No. 824060: Name; Artificial Cells with Distributed Cores, to Decipher Protein Function (https://acdch2020.eu/) to the authors, Universities of Trento and Zurich, Explorer SRL (Venice) and Elvesys SAS (Paris).
