Engel Group at UChicago

The Engel Group strives to exploit femtosecond dynamics to control excited state reactivity by combining spectroscopy, theory, synthesis, and biophysics.

New paper out from @EngelGroupUC!

Here we describe and characterize a new analysis method that isolates energy transfer time constants from 2D spectra. This is done by exploiting symmetries between diagonal and below-diagonal cross peak pathways.

Scientists had suspected bacteria were using #quantum mechanics, but no one could prove it - until now.

A pioneering study from the lab of #UChicago Prof. Greg Engel caught them in the act: https://t.co/Xksy1zt078

We are proud of our recent work showing that bacteria have evolved to actively exploit quantum couplings for steering photosynthetic energy transfer.
