Charge and heat transport at the molecular scale: is theory really predictive? Molecular nanosystems consist of single molecules or molecular monolayers coupled to macroscopic electrodes and exhibit functionality on the single-molecule level. They can be viewed as building blocks of molecular electronics (molecular wires, rectifiers, transistors, switches a ... more |

Colloids - Interfaces - 2d Cosmology in a Petri Dish In this talk we discuss the peculiar properties of colloidal particles of micrometer size trapped at fluid interfaces. One of them is the emergence of long-ranged, logarithmic capillary attractions, as in 2d Newtonian gravity. This implies that monolayers of particles are unstabl ... more |
