Stacking molecular chips in multiple dimensions
Supramolecular polymers are an alternative to traditional plastics, where monomers or building blocks are held together by weak, reversible interactions. These materials are becoming increasingly relevant due to their valuable properties of recyclability, self-healing or good processability amongst others, and they present numerous promising applications... click to read more

A resonance triggers chemical reactions between the coldest molecules
Chemical reactions occur in our everyday life. Our basic knowledge of chemistry tells us that temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts can speed up or slow down chemical reactions. For example, a carton of milk would spoil much faster if kept out of a refrigerator.... click to read more
Natural products might just be our best weapon against antibiotic resistance
Plants and their rich biodiversity have been used by humans to treat diseases since the dawn of time. Synthetic chemists still struggle to reproduce the complexity of certain chemical reactions that nature has developed throughout millions of years of evolution, which makes the world of... click to read more
