Switchable Molecular Devices in Materials, Biology and Nanoscience

The Gordon Research Seminar on Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The design of molecular switches, motors, and machines continues to develop allowing for precise tuning of structure at angstrom to nanometer size scales governed by specific stimuli. In the second iteration of the GRS conference on "Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors", we shift our focus to the novel utilization of these switchable molecular devices in applications such as biological mimics, dynamic materials, information storage, and switchable assemblies. This will be achieved by hosting early career scientists to discuss recent advancements in the connecting of structure to function in these interesting types of molecules and materials.
