Thrilled to share our most recent work with @FeringaLab on switchable hydrogels! We combine the advantages of both light💡 and redox⚡️to get large-scale, patterned changes in gel properties (colour and swelling) with high spatio-temporal precision: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Wow! A rare artifact from a simpler time: dial-up internet, flip phones, and great haircuts. Thank you for sharing!
Feeling a bit nostanling today, look at what I found on my computar on the 2002 International Chemistry Olympliad held in Groningen about the molecular motors of @FeringaLab

Another great collaboration with @SidlerEric and @FeringaLab is now published in @angew_chem! Building on our previous work, Eric prepared a few large, formally antiaromatic systems with interesting (chir)optical and redox properties. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2025105…

👩‍🔬Our new paper is out in Chem! @FeringaLab. We unveil how light-driven rotary motors behave in lipid membranes—and why system-specific characterization is crucial. Structure & polarity shape membrane interaction and function. Read (or see comments): doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.202…

Just published in @J_A_C_S, one of my main projects @FeringaLab on responsive crown ethers! Redox-switching? Light-switching? Why not both and get the best of all worlds, including guest shuttling, pseudorotaxanes, cascades and and (non)volatile states. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…
