Research focussed on artificial nanostructures often draws inspiration from, and parallels that of the natural world, with its internal architecture which knows how to organise, control and exploit properties which emerge at the mesoscopic scale. At the same time, the techniques and methods of working within physics can certainly contribute towards a better understanding of the living world at the nanometric scale.
Our team works at the interface between physics/chemistry/biology, synthesising and studying complex hybrid nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes in combination with biomolecules such as polysaccarides, DNA, or proteins. Once again it is often necessary to develop new techniques and approaches suitably adapted to these problems.
