Nanosystems designed for molecular recognition can selectively bind small molecules. Using this property and a clever system design, we aim at enhancing the NMR signal of specific molecules in a mixture. The method will find application in chemosensing, sensoristics, and NMR on microfluidics chips.

With an unconventional use of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization, we assess molecular dynamics at the solid-liquid interface by measuring macroscopic parameters. Proper optimization of this novel methodology can enable new experiments in the biology of membranes, catalysis, and material science.
