Institute to Build Molecular Factories
9 May 2008, 14:59

Categories: molecular-machines--devices

Researchers from a wide range of disciplines at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) will be joining forces at their new Institute for Complex Molecular Systems. The researchers will be investigating the exact mechanism behind self-organization, the principle behind all life on earth, and plan to use this knowledge to build molecular factories that could produce the next generation of catalysts, photosynthetic systems, nanocontainers, and functional materials. The Executive Board of TU/e has allocated 15 million euros to the Institute over the next 10 years.
