WG1 · Aim

Advanced sensing capabilities

Develop chemical sensors that detect specific or combined cues such as pH, ionic strength, light, temperature, gradients and mechanical stress. Reliable sensing at low concentrations, and coupling of different stimuli, needs new materials, new chemistry and the links between them.

DNA sensing · supramolecular sensors · molecular switches · signal amplification · conductive polymers · optical and conducting fibres

Tasks

  • T1.1 Bring together sensor and soft-electronics experts with systems chemists and soft-matter physicists
  • T1.2 Train participants on sensing approaches and device fabrication
  • T1.3 Co-design devices with designers and artists

WG leader: elected at the kick-off meeting on 1 November 2026.
