Descartes Prize
The SynNanoMotor consortium was awarded one of the three Descartes Prizes for Excellence in Science of the European Commission on March 12, 2008. Prof. Wybren Jan Buma was present at the ceremony to receive the prize on behalf of our HIMS Molecular Photonics team. For an impression of the ceremony, please click here.
Also, watch the YouTube movie where David Leigh from Edinburgh University (the driving force behind the SynNanoMotor consortium) can be seen explaining the work we have been doing over the last decade on molecular motors.
