The way molecules and particles present in solutions will interact with surfaces and with each other on the nanoscale will determine key processes such as biological functions, chemical synthesis and corrosion. We study chemical binding and electronic transport using, for example, scanning probe microscopy coupled with electrochemistry.
By miniaturising liquid channels in nanofluidics, we also study chemical reactions in a very localised space and are able to integrate synthesis with detection in a single chip using nanofluidics. We have also developed new techniques to study single biomolecules in realistic dynamic environments, both experimentally and theoretically.
