The goal of this research is to improve the programmability of DNA-based computers. Novel clockable microreactors can be connected in various ways to solve combinatorial optimisation problems, such as Maximum Clique or 3-SAT. This work demonstrates by construction how one micro-reactor design can be programmed optically to solve any instance of Maximum Clique up to its given maximum size (N). I...

A review of CO 2 hydrogenation to fuels and value-added chemicals in microreactors.

The nuclear energy sector is actively developing a new class of very small advanced reactors, called microreactors. This technology has disruptive potential as an alternative to carbon-intensive technologies based on its mobility and transportability, resilience, independence from the grid, well capacity for long refueling intervals low-carbon emissions. Microreactors may extend set internation...

We report on Janus subcompartmentalized assemblies with enzyme loaded liposomes entrapped within a polymer carrier capsule - Janus subcompartmentalized microreactors. The concept is based on the use of Pickering emulsions and the subsequent deposition of interacting liposomes and polymer layers. We demonstrate the adjustment of the size of the Janus domains and the control over the amount of tr...

We have designed and fabricated a microfluidic reactor array device for massively parallel in-situ synthesis of oligonucleotides (oDNA). The device is made of glass anodically bonded to silicon consisting of three level features: microreactors, microchannels and through inlet/outlet holes. Main challenges in the design of this device include preventing diffusion of photogenerated reagents upon ...

The bioinspired design and construction of enzyme@capsule microreactors with specific cell-like functionality has generated tremendous interest in recent years. Inspired by their fascinating complexity, scientists have endeavored to understand the essential aspects of a natural cell and create biomimicking microreactors so as to immobilize enzymes within the hierarchical structure of a microcap...
