Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Harvard Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, and Utrecht University have reported on a previously elusive way to improve the selectivity of catalytic reactions, adding a new method of increasing the efficacy of catalysts for a potentially wide range of applications in various industries including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and much more.
For years, scientists have been attempting to engineer tiny, artificial cilia for miniature robotic systems that can perform complex motions, including bending, twisting, and reversing. Building these smaller-than-a-human-hair microstructures typically requires multi-step fabrication processes and varying stimuli to create the complex...
The Research Center for Functional Molecular Systems presents the Netherlands Awards for Supramolecular Chemistry 2023, which recognize outstanding scientists in the field of supramolecular chemistry.
The 2023 Netherlands Supramolecular Chemistry Award is awarded to Professor Joanna Aizenberg (Harvard University). She is a pioneer in the field of bio-inspired materials science and engineering — a branch of science that uses biological principles as guides in developing advanced, adaptive materials and devices. Her...
