Surface patterning of inorganic nanoparticles through site-selective functionalization with mixed ligand shells or additional inorganic material leads to tailored nanomaterials with potentially novel and/or multifunctional properties.

Sometimes, the most interesting discussions occur over a beer or a glass of your favorite vino. (Bonus points if you can remember what was said the next morning!) That’s the concept behind Suds & Science, a monthly event that brings scientists face-to-face with the general public in a neighborhood bar. Each session kicks off with a short and enlightening presentation, after which the floor is open for discussion between the audience and the speaker. We cover a wide variety of topics that can range from the science of beer to superhero physics to the genius of genomes.
