“Materials responding to daylight”
17 September 2019
4.00–5.30 pm (CEST)
(Day)Light can cause many different responses. In three short presentations we will explore how light makes plants move, can induce physiological effects and change the properties of materials in buildings. The interdisciplinary view on a common phenomenon may help to inspire new approaches in drug design, smart material development and applications.
