Dual release with a bit of logic!
We show the release of a double cargo payload with 2 stimuli, force and water, with an AND gate mechanism.
Great work from Lei Chen, now available in #openaccess as a #HotPaper in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social

Last month I had a great time interacting with staff and students of IUCINQUIMA at the University of Valladolid @uva-es.bsky.social to talk and teach about polymer mechanochemistry! Many thanks to @hectorbarbero.bsky.social for the invitation and for the culinary tour of Valladolid! #chemsky

Hi, I'm Guillaume. I'm an organic chemist at the University of Manchester. My team and I stretch molecules to see how they break or react under tension.
