"Mechanical force is used to probe π–π interactions within individual perylene diimide dimers by AFM-based force spectroscopy. Passive force spectroscopy quantifies their lifetimes under load and capture their dissociation pathways, providing insight into the energy landscape of noncovalent assemblies."

Welcome to Anastasiia Murmiliuk (postdoc), Joseph Hamill (research logistician) and Priyanka Ghosh (postdoc). We also say goodbye to Min Wen and Judith Faundes, good luck with your future projects!

Welcome to Shahma Subair, Maximilien Vitello and Shrikrushna Govind Dumbre, our 3 new PhD students!

Sandrine is pursuing a carrer in education and Maxime is starting a postdoc in Madrid with Dr B. Ibarra. All the best to both of you! 

"Here, a molecular rotor prototype made of five arms that can oscillate around a single atom was probed by single-molecule pulling experiments."
