In a recent article published in Nature Synthesis, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics and TU Dresden reported an on-water surface synthesis strategy for the construction of mechanically interlocked monolayer and bilayer 2D polymers. This study sheds light on the controlled synthesis of crystalline 2D polymer at the monolayer or bilayer level and provides potential avenues to address the challenges of exploring the interlayer structure-property relationships.

We had a wonderful time and great joy running the 23rd Dresden Microelectronics Academy (DMA) - the chipmaking summer school! The fantastic group was forming a team starting day 1. A special addition were the new doctoral students from Collaborative Research Center/Transregio "Active-3D" joining in. Here you can find a small album as a visual wrap-up for this unique event:
