In a collaboration with chemists at Georgetown University and University of Oregon, the Tovar group engineered radial conjugation pathways into pi-conjugated systems that are traditionally made up of linear pathways. Read more about this finding in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

The JHU Hub documented the Kempa group’s breakthrough in nanocrystal synthesis that was recently published in Nature Nanotechnology. Read the article describing this research and its implications for quantum information science.

Congratulations to David (Thoi lab) and Eric (Klausen lab) for their publication in Angewandte Chemie on switchable multi-state frameworks!  Check out their paper here.

Congratulations to Tomojit Chowdhury, Jungkil Kim, Erick Sadler and Prof. Kempa on the recent publication of their paper in Nature Nanotechnology! The Kempa group used designer surfaces to control precisely the growth, dimensions, and optical properties of transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanocrystals. Read the JHU Hub article to access the discussing this breakthrough.

The Goldberg Group reports a series of sequentially formed peroxo(diiron), FeIV(O), and FeIII(OH) complexes from the reaction of a thiolate-ligated nonheme iron complex with O2. These complexes improve our understanding of the fundamental process of dioxygen activation by iron complexes and the related sulfur-ligated nonheme iron enzymes.

Students from the chemistry department, through the group ChemDNA, volunteered at a Harry Potter STEM day hosted by the USO. ChemDNA had a great time helping kids build LED wands, make slime, grow mandrake plants, and learn about invisible ink.

Dr. Lisa Pogue, chemistry postdoctoral scholar in the Institute for Quantum Matter, a department of energy energy frontiers research center, writes an amazing article on energy relevance of quantum materials where she goes into detail to explain what quantum materials really are and how they will help enable technologies of the future. You can read […]

As part of the Women in Engineering Initiative, Prof. Thoi was nominated by the Faculty of Engineering at University of New South Wales for a week-long visit in Sydney, Australia. Prof. Thoi talked about her group’s research in a college-wide seminar and a series of collaborative meetings with faculty and students. Congratulations, Prof. Thoi!

David Burns (Thoi Lab) was selected as a speaker at the 8th Young Researcher Conference to be held at the University of Maryland, College Park on October 5th.  The conference is hosted by the Alliance for Diversity in Science and Engineering.
