To start the week, the doctoral students benefitted from a theoretical introduction to art science and surveyed its history and current practices. They then learned to identify point of connection between scientific and artistic practice to share scientific knowledge with the public in a more embodied manner. Creative sessions included the design of scientific posters; the modelling of physical systems with creative coding; and sensory augmentation.

Each day, the students visited Belgian cultural venues that host art science exhibitions – including iMAL, KKK Galaxy, Le Pavillion, Kaaistudios, ISELP and Bozar in Brussels as well as  Trakk in Namur – to become familiar with different formats, experience scientific mediation strategies and create valuable connections.

Through a series of practical sessions, the doctoral researchers also began prototyping their own art science projects with the aim of transforming scientific research conducted within CISSE into artistic forms.

The post Art Science Week first appeared on CISSE - Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity Effect.

The CISSE doctoral candidates attended the Gordon Research Conference on Electron Spin Interactions with Chiral Molecules and Materials that took place from 3 to 8 August at Southern New Hampshire University (USA).

The following posters were presented by the doctoral candidates:

• Design and Synthesis of Chiral Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) derivatives to study CISS effect – Pravya Pradeep Nair
• Designing Thiol-Functionalized Chiral Adsorbates for CISS-Driven Spin Polarization – Mampi Biswas
• Preparation of Chiral Surfaces from Achiral Liquid Crystals – Lekshmi Aravindan Geetha
• The CISS Effect in Proteins: A New Avenue for Allosteric Regulation – Maria-Cristina Ghetu
• Chiral induced spin selectivity: How many transmission channels are in molecular junctions? – Ulrich Pototschnig
• From Concept to Application: An Industrial Look at the CISS Effect for Chiral Separation – Berith Pape
• From Coordination Chemistry to Spin-selectivity: Tuning Magnus Green Salt for exploration of CISS Effect – Kajal Katkarmpi Biswas
