We will be having a farewell dinner for our colleague Nicolas on Wednesday, December 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. Details are on the group website. After myriads of compounds synthesized and presentations made, Nicolas is moving to continue his success story in Europe. Goodbye Nicolas, you will be missed!

A 7″ x 9″ breadboard removable optical block was added to the UFTA instrument to obtain UV sample excitation at 267 nm. The energy delivered to the sample is 2.5 uJ / pulse

Congratulations to Misha and Tia!

Ten NC State faculty members have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest scientific society and publisher of the journal Science.

Congratulations to Xingao on his passing the prelim exam!

This multi-disciplinary multi-PI project is looking to develop molecule/material hybrid photoelectrodes for cooperative sunlight-driven generation of liquid fuels from carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water

• Author Correction: Design, synthesis and visible-light-induced non-radical reactions of dual-functional Rh catalysts
• Boosting organic phosphorescence in adaptive host-guest materials by hyperconjugation
• Formylation boosts the performance of light-driven overcrowded alkene-derived rotary molecular motors
• Comparative quantum-classical dynamics of natural and synthetic molecular rotors show how vibrational synchronization modulates the photoisomerization quantum efficiency
• Multi-step FRET systems based on discrete supramolecular assemblies

• High-intensity spatial-mode steerable frequency up-converter toward on-chip integration
  A study published in Opto-Electronic Science discusses high-intensity spatial-mode steerable frequency up-converter toward on-chip integration.
• Study finds CsPbBr₃ out-of-phase perovskite helps highly sensitive X-ray detection
  A recent study conducted by the research team at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has introduced a new method for enhancing X-ray detection by incorporating out-of-phase CsPb2Br5 perovskite into CsPbBr3 bulk material.
