Chemical Communications

Abstract

Systems based on infochemistry combine the storage and transmission of encoded information with four attractive features of chemistry: i) high energy density; ii) autonomous generation of power that can be used for both sensing and for transmission; iii) no requirement for batteries; iv) facile coupling with certain kinds of chemical sensing. Throughout the infochemistry project, the Walt laboratory, at Tufts University, was responsible for developing an instrument/detector to observe the emission signals from the burning fuse developed in the Whitesides laboratory, at Harvard. We developed multiple systems for the project. In this final report, we summarize and outline the accomplishments of the project.
