DNA4RENOMS DNA for Reconfigurable Nano-Opto-Mechanical Systems
Coordinator: THE CHANCELLOR MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE (UK)
Micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS, NEMS) have enabled highly successful technologies, encompassing acceleration sensors, inkjet cartridges, digital mirror projectors, and more. However, despite decades of chip development in the semiconductor industry, fabrication and energy costs remain high with poor materials utilisation and we lack devices that are reconfigurable on the nanometer scale. In contrast to these top-down approaches, DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful bottom-up approach to assemble sophisticated structures in solution with molecular precision. This proje…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €9.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2026-07-01 to 2032-06-30.
