A molecular interface science approach: Decoding single molecular reactions and interactions at dynamic solid/liquid interfaces (CSI.interface)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

After decades of truly transformative advancements in single molecule (bio)physics and surface science, it is still no more than a vision to predict and control macroscopic phenomena such as adhesion or electrochemical reaction rates at solid/liquid interfaces based on well-characterized single molecular interactions. How exactly do inherently dynamic and simultaneous interactions of a countless n...
