Active nano/microsystems in the Spanish context (24-25 October, 2024)

The development of active nano- and microsystems has attracted special interest both in the biomedical (e.g., drug delivery) and environmental (e.g., detection, remediation) fields. Their ability to be selectively functionalized and promote localized mixing at the micro/nanoscale accelerates reaction processes, as well as envisioning its use as advances sensing platforms. Research in this area spans from understanding the mechanisms behind their mobility, including the corresponding hydrodynamic studies and collective behavior, and reactivity to exploring their practical applications.

This symposium focuses both on the fundament and applied studies around active microsystems, with the aim of fostering networking opportunities and collaboration within Spanish groups, as well as how to promote and pushing forward our research internationally. The multidisciplinary nature of active nano- and microsystems motors encompasses a wide range of expertise, requiring not only a deep understanding of material reactivity but also on the physical events related that promote their enhanced motion. In that regard, both chemistry, physics and engineering meets, and this is reflected in this Symposia, organized both by researchers at the Chemistry Faculty and Physics Faculty at the University of Barcelona.
