Funded Activity Summary

Intermolecular interactions revisited-Flaws in the fabric and applications to lower-dimensional structures. This project aims to capitalise on recent developments, that have shown that previously accepted theories are deeply flawed, in various applications in fundamental physics and in unsolved problems in biology that involve electromagnetic fields. Interactions driven by electromagnetic fluctuation forces, and real photon exchange, between molecules will be investigated. The project will investigate how dispersion interactions change in mesoscopic pores, in electrolytes, and at finite temperatures. Applications involve catalysis, molecular formation, and quantum logic. The project also aims to develop a unified theory for energy and charge transfer, relevant for photosynthesis and the way biological molecules transfer information.
