From living micro-organisms studied as a particular state of matter, to hybrid or even purely inorganic nanowires integrated in prototypic devices, the activities of BSMA cover scientific topics as diverse as self-assembly, biosensing and biointerfaces, polymer science, surface science, (nano)composites, organic electronics, or even spintronics, for applications in medicine, electronics and information technology, materials, or energy.
These lines of research are supported by a strong expertise in synthesis, nanofabrication and processing, as well as in the characterization of surfaces, materials and devices.
