The first copy of ‘Makers van Leven‘ by Esther Thole (science journalist and editor at NEMO-Kennislink) was handed over to prof. Bert Meijer in Eindhoven. The book includes a preface of prof. Ben Feringa and addresses the complex question of ‘What is life?’ and ‘How can we imitate life’. Esther Thole discusses with many chemists, including FMS […]

Bert Meijer (TU/e) and coworkers published a letter in Nature entitled ‘Potential enthalpic energy of water in oils exploited to control supramolecular structure’. More information can be found at the TU/e website, as well as in a Volkskrant article (in Dutch). The full article can be found here.

FMS staff members Sander Wezenberg and Ben Feringa (both RUG) published their recent research results in Nature Communications. The article reports on a supramolecularly directed rotary motion in a photoresponsive receptor. The motor was designed such that the rotation is directed by a chiral guest molecule that is able to non-covalently bind to a light-responsive […]
