All past FlashNews and Newsletters are online here: E-Newsletter Dear InterPore colleagues, Some very exciting news! You may have picked it up from the FlashNews as well, earlier this week: The InterPore Journal has been launched! You can read all about it below. Many more calls in today’s newsletter, including the one to participate in the survey related to child care. It is important to InterPore to be as inclusive as possible, and if members of the community are restricted due to childcare requirements, then maybe that can be fixed! Take a few minutes and participate in the survey. Other calls relate to jobs, experimental opportunities, the KC lecturer, etc. And the InJournals section has two interesting papers that call for being studied. All the best, Matthijs de Winter ![]() InterPore Journal has been launched!It is not every day that a new journal is born, however we are happy to announce that after years of hard work and planning, the InterPore Journal has officially launched! InterPore Journal, owned by the society, aims to advance our understanding of, and research on, technical and industrial advances in porous media, to gain an improved understanding of the processes and phenomena involved, and to provide a medium in which this information can be easily and freely be shared within the international research community. With your support, we are keen to make InterPore Journal the main destination for high quality research on the wide range of multidisciplinary multiscale topics related to porous media science and technology. Our Board of Editors is complete with 10 members, our Committee on Publication Ethics is complete with 4 members, and we currently have 28 members on our Editorial Board. You can find out more information on our Board of Editors here, our Committee on Publication Ethics here, and our Editorial Board here. We are also grateful for all who have already registered to act as a reviewer! If you have not already done so, you can do so here. Last but not least – we look very much forward to receiving your work for possible publication in our first issue! For more information on how to prepare your paper for submission, see our Guidelines here. And as always, please contact Laura Lenz with any questions or suggestions which you may have! We look forward to hearing from you! InterPore Conferences Childcare Survey

Please visit our website for further information on how to apply. Hosts may select one of two lecture options:
An abstract of both lectures and a short biography of Prof. Juanes can be found on our website. InterPore Foundation on LinkedInConnect with the InterPore Foundation on LinkedIn to stay informed of foundation activities such as grants for participation at InterPore events, recognition of researchers for excellence in porous media, support for open access publication, childcare at InterPore conferences and more! Chapter NewsGermany InterPore Chapter
The conference provides a national forum for interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration of experts from numerous German research institutions, universities, and industry. The topics of the conference therefore deal with all issues of porous media research, from experiment to theory and from science to industrial application. Abstract submission is now open through 16 July. Registration is open through 3 September. See here for more information. France InterPore Chapter
The discussions, mostly interdisciplinary, involve fundamental topics such as applied mathematics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and process engineering. The scientific research carried out in these domains is relevant in several major areas related to environmental and societal needs: energy storage, pollution abatement, renewable energies, agri-food and health. The deadline to submit abstracts has been extended to 21 July. Click here for more details. China InterPore Chapter: Meeting Report
This conference is a catalyst for groundbreaking research, transformative ideas, and collaborative endeavors. A total of approximately 150 researchers and academics from 7 countries attended, of which 27 experts and scholars gave lectures on a vast array of porous media related research. Read more about the event here. ![]() Israel InterPore Chapter: Meeting Report
The Israeli Chapter of InterPore aims to foster collaboration among a diverse network of porous media researchers from academia, research institutes, and industry. As part of our chapter activities, we organize an annual workshop to facilitate the presentation of not only recent research achievements but also fundamental concepts and research-related challenges, in an effort to promote interdisciplinary collaboration. Call for access: Excite
The 4th call has opened. Free facility access can be applied for until 31 August. For more information, please visit their website. X-ray 3D imaging–based microunderstanding of granular mixtures: Stiffness enhancement by adding small fractions of soft particlesK. Taghizadeh, M. Ruf, S. Luding, H. Steeb Granular media consisting of equally sized stiff glass spheres and soft rubber spheres are investigated for different mixing ratios. At different stress states, the sphere packings were mechanically characterized using low-frequency ultrasound in combination with X-ray Computed Tomography (XRCT). It turned out that adding up to 20 % (soft) rubber spheres has not reduced the effective stiffness of the packings, but improved it. However, when the fraction of the rubber spheres is more than 30 %, the stiffness begins to decrease. X-ray images have shown that the stiffness evolution can be explained by the length of force chains of glass particles. PNAS Vol. 120, No. 26 A microfluidic chip for geoelectrical monitoring of critical zone processesFlore Rembert, Arnaud Stolz, Cyprien Soulaine, Sophie Roman Geoelectrical methods are commonly used to monitor dynamic processes (e.g. multi-phase flow, geochemical reactions, microbial activity) in the critical zone, i.e. the near-surface environment hosting drinking water and continental life. The interpretation of electrical measurements, however, is still a matter of controversy as the identification of the electrical signature of each underlying process is challenging. Scientists from the University of Orleans have miniaturized geoelectrical acquisition on microfluidic chips mimicking critical zone processes. Combined with high-resolution optical imaging, they identified the electrical signature of calcite dissolution. Assessing the contribution of processes will help to better monitor the critical zone using geophysics. Lab Chip, 2023, Advance Article InterPore Members can promote their publications to the community via the InterPore InJournals Section of the Newsletter. If you wish to do so, please submit your publication highlight to newsletter@InterPore.org. Clearly indicate which of the authors is an InterPore member (or the institute with an Institutional Membership). Note that we will not review the entries nor does InterPore endorse the published work. Furthermore, we publish on a “submitted first, published first” basis. The highlighted publication should be no older than 6 months (available online). The highlight should be short (max 100 words) and contain an illustration. Please note that we offer this opportunity exclusively to InterPore members. If you would like to become a member, please have a look here. If you have a job opening in your institute and would like to promote it internationally, please send the description and weblink or PDF to newsletter@interpore.org, and we’ll be happy to add it to the list.
