If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Fun trip to Center for Nanoscale Materials to run some optical experiments. Thanks to Ben Diroll and Burak Guzelturk for helping teach students about transient absorption and lasing experiments!

In a new paper just published in Advanced Materials we reveal an ultrafast symmetry change in PbS quantum dots upon photoexcitation. The degree of this symmetry change is controllable by changing the PbS surface chemistry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Table of contents image for linked journal article. Image shows change in symmetry of PbS upon photoexcitation.
