Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On November 07, 2018, Prof. Friedrich Simmel (Physics of Synthetic Biological Systems) will talk about a newly developed electric propulsion technology for nanorobots. It allows molecular machines to move a hundred thousand times faster than with the biochemical processes used to date. This makes nanobots fast enough to do assembly line work in molecular factories (TUM press release).
Relevant Publication:
E. Kopperger, J. List, S. Madhira, F. Rothfischer, D. C. Lamb, F. C. Simmel, “A self-assembled nanoscale robotic arm controlled by electric fields”, Science, January 19, 2018. DOI: 10.1126/science.aao4284
We look forward to seeing you there!
