Using the Atomic Force Microscopy to study the operation of small synthetic molecules...
...one molecule at a time!
Our research is concerned with the development of probes and technologies to interface single small functional molecules with AFM. For 15 years, we have developed the first examples of single-molecule force spectroscopy on small synthetic molecules to study their operation.
Latest news
Check out our recent work on the single-molecule mechanics of small synthetic helices, published in CHEM! A nice collaboration with I. Huc and F. Zerbetto.
Congrats Floriane!
