Supramolecular machines driving shape-morphing liposomes.
The ECHO grant has been awarded to the project on Supramolecular machines driving shape-morphing liposomes.
Inspired by the cell mechanics, this project will focus on constructing a rudimentary artificial cytoskeletal model based on dynamic molecular architectures that can generate forces at the nanoscale. Fueled by light, the mechanics of these architectures will be harnessed to realize shape morphing of liposomes.
