Self-Organised Nano-Structures (SONS)

This research program concerns the utilisation of supramolecular interactions for the synthesis and positioning of functional
assemblies, macromolecules, dendrimers, and nanoparticles. In addition, creating a link of the molecular scale to the macroscopic
world is one of the focal points. Ultimately molecular self-assembled architectures may find applications in advanced technologies
such as new chip technologies (DNA probes, lab-on-the chip), sensors transistors, data storage, light-emitting diodes, communication
technologies, magnetic information storage, photovoltaic cells, and molecular motors and machines.
