Advancements in surface engineering have enabled significant enhancement of boiling heat transfer. However, performance gains rarely transfer across conditions or geometries. Two challenges illustrate why: bubble nucleation behavior is poorly reproducible; and increasing nucleating density to raise the heat transfer coefficient typically lowers the system’s maximum achievable heat flux. This talk presents our efforts in addressing each challenge by identifying the governing mechanism and designing for it.<br>\r\nIn the first part, micro-engineered silicon surfaces isolate two governing length scales: the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness, which controls nucleation stability through inter-site shielding, and the bubble departure diameter, which governs vapor removal after full activation. We experimentally show that nucleation stability responds to the former length scale (~0.24 mm); heat transfer in the activated regime responds to the latter length scale (~2.5 mm).<br>\r\nThe second study addresses the high-heat-flux limit, where large vapor structures block liquid return. Capillary wicking through copper inverse opals (~10 μm pores) supplies liquid beneath the vapor. Crucially, the pore cavities are themselves the nucleation sites, so wicking capacity and nucleation density derive from the same structure. Further, CuO nanograss on the pore walls suppresses vapor penetration into the porous layer, enabling thicker structures and greater capillary head. The result is simultaneous enhancement of heat transfer coefficients and maximum heat fluxes.<br>\r\nTogether, the two works show that mechanism-targeted surface design yields gains that empirical topography optimization does not. They point toward a broader design principle: that nucleation and interfacial transport, treated as controllable rather than given, offer a promising path to engineering phase change processes across applications.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b20520?ref=pdf\">https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b20520?ref=pdf</a><br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10209-w\">https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10209-w </a><br>\r\n<br>\r\nBio: Zhengmao Lu is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at EPFL.

Local access to specific genomic regions is facilitated by repositioning nucleosomes to enable transcription and other nuclear processes. Nucleosome positioning is primarily regulated by ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes (CRs) that belong to the Snf2-type helicase family. These enzymes disrupt histone-DNA contacts by consuming ATP. The functions of CRs can be redundant or essential, complicating their study in vivo. To address this, we employ a unique bottom-up approach, in which we reconstitute chromatin in vitro using purified proteins and a yeast genomic plasmid library. To elucidate the diverse remodeling functions of CRs, we add purified CRs in combination with various transcription factors to the in vitro reconstituted chromatin. The resulting changes in nucleosome positioning are monitored using MNase-seq. Depending on the type of CR used, we observe distinct nucleosome positioning patterns. Furthermore, we have expanded our in vitro reconstitution approach to explore the 3D genome organization of reconstituted chromatin, discovering a role for CRs in the 3D genome organization of <em>S. cerevisiae</em>.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-23T09:41:37", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-10T12:18:20", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BCH 2218", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BCH%202218", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/689675.html\">Elisa Oberbeckmann</a> (University of Goettingen)", "organizer": "Professeur Beat Fierz", "contact": "Marie Munoz", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "CBseminar", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119413/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/14/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71316, "title": "Can effector T lymphocytes initiate cancer?", "slug": "can-effector-t-lymphocytes-initiate-cancer", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/can-effector-t-lymphocytes-initiate-cancer", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32671/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32671/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32671/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-29", "end_date": "2026-05-29", "start_time": "13:30:00", "end_time": "14:30:00", "description": "<p>Abstract<br>\r\nAround 30% of cancers are preceded by chronic inflammation which occurs at the site where tumors will develop.

Likewise, in a ferroic material, regions with different orientation of the order parameter, the domains, do not simply exist side by side, but they exhibit new phases and properties in the domain walls. Because of their discontinuous, confined, and topological nature, domain walls exhibit functional states that are not possible in the bulk. Continuing this line of thought, one should expect domain walls in multiferroics to be a particularly rich source of novel phenomena. Here one must distinguish between (i) \"domain walls in multiferroics\", where only the ferroelectric (or magnetic) order is considered so that little is learned about the multiferroic state, and (ii) \"multiferroic domain walls\" where the ferroic phase coexistence of the wall itself is of interest.

The negatively charged boron vacancy was the first intrinsic<br>\r\noptically addressable spin defect in hBN reported in 2020, allowing coherent control at room temperature.<br>\r\nAlthough other types of spin centres have been found in this material since then, this spin-1 colour centre<br>\r\nremains the only one with a clearly elucidated structure. Practical applications of hBN spin centres as<br>\r\nintrinsic magnetic field, temperature, pressure, etc. sensors in van der Waals heterostructures are hence<br>\r\nenvisioned. To further boost the quantum sensing applications of this spin defect in hBN, we are currently<br>\r\ninvestigating the dynamics of the intermediate state, also known as the metastable state, because it is likely<br>\r\nto trap electrons for a certain time, which affects the subsequent sensing protocol when the pulsed<br>\r\nmagnetic resonance experiment is designed.</p>", "image_description": "Prof. Vladimir Dyakonov", "creation_date": "2026-04-01T09:02:57", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-01T10:43:24", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BM 5202", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BM%205202", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Prof. Vladimir Dyakonov</strong> holds the Chair of Experimental Physics on the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy of Julius-Maximilian University of Würzburg, Germany since 2004.
