Based at Northwestern University, the mission of the CBES is to develop soft materials by designing structures that emulate properties of biological systems.
To develop soft materials that emulate behaviors of living organisms, we designed hydrogels that swim autonomously toward a light source. This intelligent phototactic behavior is controlled by supramolecular nanofibers linked to photoresponsive networks.
