| Mission |
The aim of IMM is to conduct research and train undergraduate and graduate students in the field of functional- molecular structures and materials. There is an emphasis on understanding and controlling complexity in order to be able to design new functionality in these systems. |This research area can roughly be divided into two main themes: bio-inspired systems and nano/mesoscopic structures. Covering both experimental and theoretical physics and chemistry, and harboring skills in state-of-the-art analytical and synthetic techniques, the groups that constitute the IMM possess expertise in all areas needed to explore these fields. |Ambition: |- Controlled functional physical and chemical self-assembly; the understanding and the ability to steer self-organization of molecular nano-structures will enable researchers to bridge the gap between nano- and macroworld. |- Dynamics of chemical and physical processes on a molecular scale; to determine the dynamics of single-molecule processes, to monitor chemical reactions or physical processes (e.g. phase changes), to control spin and charge-dynamics, all on a nanometer and femtosecond scale is a research area that will bring important developments. |- Full structural resolution of living-cell organels; the ability to monitor and control processes on an intracellular level and to master intracellular chemistry will lead to important new spectroscopy, pharmaceutical chemistry and micro-scale techniques such as lab-on-a-chip . One of the ambitions it to make atrificial cell-structures. |
