Description:
|
We will prepare some gelatin-based hydrogels that can move by themselves thanks to a reaction called Belousov-Zhabotinsky. We will analyze the wave formation and position of the gel throughout the course of the reaction. This type of research can be potentially applied to biological and biomedical fields: cardiac arrithmias, migraines and cellular growth of molds.
