My name is Christian and I’m an engineer, scientist, researcher etc. I’m interested in semiconductors as well as soft-matter, such as self-organization and structure of active soft and granular matter. On this website you’ll find materials related to this.

Post mortem: Patterns?
In an earlier post, I explain why I would find it useful if researches could shed some light on the history and the circumstances behind their publications. So, this post is about my paper Christian Scholz, Gerd Schröder-Turk and Klaus MeckePattern-fluid interpretation of chemical turbulence, Phys. Rev. E 91, 042907 (2015) and why there might …

Post Mortem: Measureing Permeability of Microfluidic Porous Media
When you read a scientific publication, in particular papers in natural science, if you are not familiar with the circumstances of scientific reality (I mean what typically happens vs what idealy happens), you might come to the conclusion that the authors had a very specific idea of what they wanted to investigate, before performing the …
