🔎 #ICN2 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: Throwback in Time

🤔 Did you know that 𝐈𝐂𝐍𝟐 started out only as 𝗜𝗖𝗡 in 2003? There wasn't even a common building!

▶️ Anabel (Maintenance Det.) put it perfectly: ICN2 🟰 #evolution.

🚀 Here's to many more years of #ScienceImpact!

📖 Serie 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗧𝗲́𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘀: Clip-off

✂️ Prof. ICREA Daniel Maspoch y su equipo @wearenanoup.bsky.social publicó un paper en @science.org donde presentan una nueva aplicación de la #química 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩-𝐨𝐟𝐟, una nueva técnica para producir macrociclos (moléculas complejas) con precisión.

🔎 Our #AnnualReport 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 is out❗

If we wanted to go fast, we'd go alone. But we want to take #nanoscience further, so  #collaboration is key to achieving bigger goals.
