FOCUS - Single Molecule Activation and Computing

FOCUS, will build a novel generation of biologically inspired molecular devices (MDs) based on the developments of new photonic tools. These photonic tools will use Plasmon Polariton technology, enabling focused light spots with a diam. 10 nm.

SMD - Single or few molecules detection by combined enhanced spectroscopies

The SingleMoleculeDetection (SMD) proposal will integrate on the same device an atomic force microscope (AFM) or an optical tweezer (OT), with Raman/SERS/IR/TeraHertz microscopy so to perform simultaneously - and in a dynamic way - force and spectroscopic measurements.
