Virtual Symposium “Materials responding to daylight”: videos now online
(Day)light can cause many different responses. In three short presentations, the webinar explores how light makes plants move, can induce physiological effects and change the properties of materials in buildings. The interdisciplinary view on a common phenomenon may help to inspire new approaches in drug design, smart material development and applications.
The webinar was part of the project “Materials responding to daylight”.
