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: Electronic energy levels and optical spectra of trivalent lanthanide ions in water – Ce(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III), and Yb(III)
• Probing resonances in the double-well entry valley of the Cl + NH3 reaction using high-resolution anion photoelectron spectroscopy
• Near-unity charge transfer efficiency on bare semiconductor photoanodes induced by polyols and ammonia co-oxidation
• Taming distonic radical cations for precise γ-C–H functionalization of alkylamines
• External control of photocleavage reactivity in polymer networks to reconcile photodegradability and photostability

• Gravity's subtle effect on light could improve groundwater, volcano and carbon storage monitoring
  A study by University of Wollongong (UOW) physicist Dr. Enbang Li has demonstrated that gravity can subtly influence the behavior of light, a breakthrough that could underpin future technologies for monitoring groundwater, tracking glacier melt, locating mineral deposits and detecting underground changes linked to volcanic activity and carbon storage.
• Quantum 'dark modes' no longer block phonon control, opening new paths for scalable devices
  Three RIKEN researchers have demonstrated a way to stop problematic "dark modes" from squelching intriguing effects in quantum systems. This advance could help with the development of more versatile quantum devices that can be used to control the storage and transmission of quantum information. The study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

• AI just discovered new physics in the fourth state of matter
  April 23, 2026
  Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By combining a specially designed neural network with precise 3D tracking of particles in a dusty plasma—a strange “fourth state of matter” found from space to wildfires—the team revealed hidden patterns in how […]

Remember this annoying color change when you look at your screen at different angles? Professor So group at NCSU Materials Science and Engineering department offers a solution. The article is published in The Journal of the Society for Information Display (https://doi.org/10.1002/jsid.792)

The power has been restored. All IMAKS instruments are up and running. Good luck with your experiments.
