Chemical self-assembly: A nonlinear breaking strainLife-like supramolecular mechanics
Welcome to the Kudernac group website. The group is embedded in the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology of the University of Twente.
In the group, we are developing supramolecular machines that can generate forces and useful work at the nanoscale and we are harvesting these forces in order to manipulate soft nano-objects. On a more fundamental level we explore chemo-mechanical transduction in synthetic molecular systems as well as ways how to access out-of-equilibrium states that are rich in usable energy that can be converted into a mechanical response.
