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

• Multi-step FRET systems based on discrete supramolecular assemblies
• Rapid room-temperature phosphorescence chiral recognition of natural amino acids
• Enhancing photocatalytic H2O2 production with Au co-catalysts through electronic structure modification
• Embedding biocatalysts in a redox polymer enhances the performance of dye-sensitized photocathodes in bias-free photoelectrochemical water splitting
• Quantum phase synchronization via exciton-vibrational energy dissipation sustains long-lived coherence in photosynthetic antennas

• Research team resolves decades-long problem in microscopy
  When viewing biological samples with a microscope, the light beam is disturbed if the lens of the objective is in a different medium than the sample. For example, when looking at a watery sample with a lens surrounded by air, the light rays bend more sharply in the air around the lens than in the […]
• First curved data link side-steps key 6G wireless challenge
  Next-generation wireless signals will no longer emanate indiscriminately from a base station as is the case now but will likely take the form of targeted directional beams. However, any physical interference—an object or a person passing nearby, for example—could interrupt the signal, posing a literal obstacle toward the implementation of ultrafast millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz wireless […]
