#nanocrystals — Public Fediverse posts

👓 Ah, the thrill of zero-point motion in crystals—because apparently, #physicists ran out of exciting things to study. ⚛️ Watch as they spend countless hours squinting through microscopes at #nanocrystals that glow just enough to make you wish you were reading literally anything else. 💡

#BJNANO #DiamondOpenAccess 💎 🔓

For a belated #introduction, posts are mostly about #science of #colloidal #nanocrystals and related topics in #chemistry and #plasmonic materials. Interests in #cleantech and soft materials, as well.
#chemiverse

Occasional fun posts about #dogs, #cooking, and #nature.

Placing tin #dopants selectively in the core or shell region of #plasmonic indium oxide #colloidal #nanocrystals controls not only dual-band spectral features, but also the strong spectral modulation and near-field modulation when electrons are added by chemical reduction.

From recent group members Bharat Tandon and Stephen Gibbs, plus stand-out undergrad researcher Christopher Dean (Texas ChE).

What a great way to finish up the year! Our review on colloidal approaches to zinc oxide #nanocrystals has just appeared online in Chemical Reviews!
Great collaboration with
Joel van Embden, Kevin Kittilstved and Silvia Gross
