After 7 incredible years at Brandeis, I'm excited to start a new chapter at UCSB today😊 I'm forever grateful to my wonderful colleagues at Brandeis for their support. Looking forward to building an interdisciplinary program in materials & energy @ucsbchemistry🌴☀️🔋
Pacifichem 2025 Designed π Symposium for 2.5 days came to the end. Thanks for all the people involved in this event. It was such an exciting experience to be part of such an amazing organizing team. Mahalo!
Fun night with my peeps! Thanks to our awesome chairs 🩵🩵🩵I’m not in the photo. But I’m there right in front of the camera on the other side. 🤓 Looking forward to another great day of talks!
One of the best things in science is the opportunity to meet individuals all over the world who not only are outstanding scientists but also very nice persons and become friends over the years. Pleasant lunch with @JudyWuChem,@afukazawa79,@GraceGDHan & Frieder, nice too see you!
RCSA, @SloanFoundation & @KavliFoundation have made awards to 8 cross-disciplinary teams of early career researchers in the second year of #Scialog: Sustainable Minerals, Metals, and Materials. Congratulations! https://t.co/jZ594qMFGf

📢Late POTM winner announcement: Shout out to @GraceGDHan and team: The winner of July's Paper Of The Month #POTM for their awesome design of curved anthracenes to store solar thermal energy efficiently.
Check out the paper here.

Researchers, including Teacher-Scholar @GraceGDHan (@ucsantabarbara@BrandeisU), have made "a curved form of anthracene, an organic compound, that captures and stores sunlight in its chemical bonds, releasing the energy as heat when triggered hours later."

Isothermal time-resolved DSC, PXRD, and solid-state NMR revealed a complex solid-state energy release mechanism in dianthracene crystals.

In @NatureChemistry, we report reversible hydroxide emitters that generate highly basic (pH ~13) solns under light & revert to neutral in dark. The compounds, taking advantage of aromaticity effects, can directly capture/concentrate CO2 from ambient air. https://t.co/hy7VUvgNIm
Thank you to @cenmag for sharing the work that I had the opportunity of being a part of. Have a read and see how curved anthracene molecules can be used to store solar energy.
Thanks to @GraceGDHan for this amazing opportunity.
Grateful to @physorg_com for covering our recent research from @GraceGDHan Lab
It means a lot to see our work recognized and shared with the broader scientific community.
Thanks to @cenmag for covering our work!
Grateful to @KMothPoulsen and @Diego__Sampedro for sharing their thoughts on the story.
And heartfelt thanks to @GraceGDHan for the opportunity to be part of this exciting project.
@Ella_Maru@cenmag@KMothPoulsen@Diego__Sampedro Thank you Ella❤️ the liquid MOST is the best for fluidic devices for heating! Micro-device is definitely viable. We are developing solid-state MOST for wearable app too 😊
Our latest #MOST system using curved anthracene’s Dewar isomerization is now on @cenmag news ☀️🔋Thank you @KMothPoulsen and @Diego__Sampedro for nice quotes 😊 Proud of the team! https://t.co/5SIQ9sINZo @cenmag
