Controlled signalling in soft matter.
WG3 · Aim
Controlled signalling in soft matter
Develop chemical signal cascades embedded in soft materials that transmit information autonomously. Like a flock of birds or the arms of an octopus, coordination needs sending, receiving and interpreting signals in a noisy environment.
Tasks
- T3.1 Unite experts from microfluidics, systems chemistry, materials design and the arts
- T3.2 Train on materials fabrication and analytical techniques to study chemical signals in materials
WG leader: elected at the kick-off meeting on 1 November 2026.
