This hybrid design merges dynamic molecular switching with tunable porosity, yielding materials whose structural and functional responses are actively modulated by confinement and guest uptake, opening new directions for adaptive, paper-based sensing and responsive architectures.

The integration of hierarchically organized porous frameworks with spin-crossover nanodomains enables cooperative interactions across multiple length scales.

A great milestone for @GisensB . Being selected among the 60 most promising early-stage startups in NYC out of 2,300+ candidates is a remarkable achievement. Proud of the team and grateful to everyone supporting the journey. @visiblehandsvc @NYCEDC edc.nyc/press-release/…

Mañana comienza el curso de grado "Propiedades Fisicoquímicas de Polímeros y Macromoléculas". No olviden contactar al docente a cargo del curso...

Great collaboration and teamwork. Check out the article here: mdpi.com/1420-3049/31/4…

In this work, we explore how supramolecular host–guest interactions can be used to control and tune iontronic responses in nanochannels, opening new possibilities for stimuli-responsive and switchable systems in soft matter and nanofluidics.

We are happy to share our latest publication: “Host–Guest Chemistry as a Supramolecular Engine for Iontronic Transduction in Nanochannels” 🧪 @MDPIOpenAccess @Molecules_MDPI @CONICETDialoga @CONICETLaPlata @exactas_unlp #SoftMatter #SupramolecularChemistry #Nanofluidics

El Día del Químico se conmemora para recordar a Enrique Herrero Ducloux, quien fue el primer doctor en Química en la Argentina. Otuvo su título en 1901 en la UBA y fue decano de la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas de la UNLP en 1919.

Omar @softmatterlab was named in the 2025 edition of the Stanford University list of World Top 2% Scientists in the fields of Chemistry and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.

@ProfJohnARogers Excellent perspective. At the end of the day, real-world validation is, ultimately, the most rigorous form of peer review.

Happy to announce the publication of our Comment piece in Nature Nanotechnology, focusing on the intersection between clinical needs and capabilities of emerging wearable technologies, titled “Implementing clinical needs into the development of wearable health-monitoring technology,” (nature.com/articles/s4156…). A key message is that real progress in this area demands closely collaborative activities at the interface between engineering science and medical practice, the type of work supported by our Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics here at @NorthwesternU. The collection of authors includes four medical doctors, one PhD device engineer (myself) and one PhD expert in healthcare technology adoption. The result is an article designed to provide the scientists and engineers who dominate the readership of this journal with a deeply informed medical and regulatory perspective – take a look if you’d like to gain some insights. Thanks to co-authors Prof. @BrasierNoe (Institute of Translational Medicine, @ETH_Zurich) Prof. Anja Domenghino (Department of Surgery and Transplantation, University Hospital Zurich), Prof. Christoph A. Meier (Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Zurich and Department of Medicine, University of Geneva), Prof. Christine Jacob (University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland) and Dr. @stevexuMD (@Sibel_Health and @NorthwesternU). Thanks especially to Noe for taking the initiative to make this happen!

@Huckgroup @NatureChemistry @souvik2197 Thrilled to see this brilliant work from my former postdoc mentor in Cambridge, now at @Huckgroup Radboud University, published in Nature Chemistry! A fascinating demonstration of how enzymatic networks can process and encode temporal information.

Our recent @NatureChemistry paper demonstrates how resource competition can endow enzymatic reaction networks with reservoir computing capabilities to perform complex information processing tasks! doi.org/10.1038/s41557… Congrats to all the authors🎉🎉

Gracias @mdeambrosio por reflejar el entusiasmo que sentimos en @softmatterlab por los "metal–organic frameworks" (MOFs) y su merecido reconocimiento con el Nobel de Química 2025. Un gusto haber aportado a la nota de @LANACION con nuestra perspectiva. lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/premi…

En nuestro laboratorio hace años que trabajamos con MOFs, integrándolos en electrocatálisis, nanofluídica y más... 👉advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… 👉pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… 👉advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Esta distinción no solo reconoce el valor fundamental de estos materiales, sino que impulsa su potencial en aplicaciones reales. Felicitaciones a los laureados y a toda la comunidad que trabaja con materiales diseñados a la medida de los grandes desafíos del siglo XXI.

Hoy la química celebra un hito: el Premio Nobel de Química 2025 ha sido otorgado a Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson y Omar Yaghi por su desarrollo de los metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). @RAdPC @universidata @ValeriaRoman

Faraday is recognized as a prominent experimenter in the history of science. @Conicet @CONICETDialoga @LatinXChem @Leopoldina @ScienceAcad_swe @AcadSciences @americanacad @_knaw @AmPhilSociety @acadmed @badw_muenchen @theNASciences

His accomplishments include the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the laws of electrolysis. His research on magnetic fields and the invention of the Faraday cage were groundbreaking. He received the Copley Medal, and his legacy endures in present-day science.

Happy Birthday, Michael Faraday! (1791-1867) Faraday, a British scientist, excelled in electromagnetism and electrochemistry despite a humble education. He began his journey as an apprentice bookbinder, nurturing his passion for science. @royalsociety @Ri_Science @bbaw_de
