Elizabeth Santos (1st prize winner) and Zhegang Song (runner up)
Many congratulations to the Journal of Materials Chemistry C Best Student Talk prize winners at the Shape-responsive workshop which took place in Telluride, Colorado from the 23rd – 27th June 2015.
Elizabeth Santos (Michigan State University) was awarded first place for her talk with Zhegang Song (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) named as runner up.
The overall aim of the workshop was to bring together the scientists, both academic and industrial, from all over the world. Several topics were focussed upon during the workshop: An aggregation-induced emission phenomenon in a wide range of organic fluorophores; the fluorescent rotors; mechanofluorescence; encapsulation of fluorescent probes in small hosts; and the development of turn-on fluorescent ligands for proteins and DNA/RNA.
A themed issue of Journal of Materials Chemistry C in association with this workshop will appear in early 2016.
