Congrats to Federico whose excellent poster just won a copy of the Nature of the Mechanical Bond, at the Telluride meeting on molecular motors, rotors and switches!
TSRC Molecular motors, rotors and switchesBio-inspired and Smart Materials
Our aim is to develop smart materials that are inspired by the multiscale, sophisticated and stimuli-responsive architectures that are found in nature. To this end, we rely on controlling the expression, transmission and amplification of chirality, from the nanoscale (the molecule) to the supramolecular level. This research implies a special focus on light-responsive systems also.
