Microscale Motion and Light

International Workshop
22 - 26 July 2019

Micro- and nanomotors and the possibility to push systems out of equilibrium open up exciting new opportunities for smart materials and applications.  Nature often takes benefit of sunlight to transform electromagnetic radiation into chemical energy or mechanical processes via photosynthesis. Since artificial catalysts are still far from being competitive, efforts are required to develop catalytic systems, spanning different disciplines such as micromotion, photocatalysis and photochemistry.

Topics include

  • Micromotion
  • Photochemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Active matter
  • Non-equilibrium-systems
  • Colloids
  • Water splitting
  • Electrochemistry
  • Light-responsive materials
  • Colloidal assembly
