Temperature is a central concept in thermodynamics and is one of the most crucial parameters to be described in scientific and technological achievements. Due to the high importance of measuring this property, thermometers are accounted for ≈ 80% of the sensor market and could reach 6.86 billion USD in 2023 according to a study done […]
The NANOswimmer OLYMPICS: Real-Time Tracking of the Photophysics and Photocatalytic Performance of Nanoscale Swimmers
The NANOLYMPICS project aims to develop innovative solutions for tackling water contamination, paving the way for a cleaner and healthier environment. Light-driven nanoswimmers have demonstrated great potential in various applications involving photocatalysis, such as environmental remediation. However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of their photophysics and how different configurations affect their efficiency. This knowledge […]

Optical rechargeable Nanorobots for Fungal Biofilm Eradication
Photoactive microswimmers for selective catching, detection and removal of emerging pollutants
Engineering of Photo-rechargeable Nanoswimmers using Multicomponent Heterojunctions
The realization of smart nanoswimmers capable of moving and performing desired tasks in an aqueous environment is a technological challenge due to the viscous and thermal forces exerted upon them. While various types of external stimulus can be used to activate their autonomous motion, light is the easiest to operate and most flexible, due to […]
