Somewhere in a crystal thinner than DNA, a single atomic flaw emits perfect particles of light – the building blocks of #quantum networks. Which flaw? @CMQT_NU + @ArgonneLab traced it to a "vertical divacancy": a precise gap of missing atoms.

Another update from our group's 2025 works: on the nuances and customization of optical properties in vanadyl phthalocyanine molecules; a great collab between @CMQTnu and @OSUPhysics!

Best day ever 🥳

[WPI-AIMR, Tohoku Univ. @TohokuUnivAIMR]

Welcome to AIMR!🙌
Dr. Gavin @Physics_Carin, who has been employed as a JRC Scientist at UChicago since 2025, visited AIMR for the first time and attended an orientation on Nov. 10. We look forward to her contributions in accelerating exchange and collaborative research.

The phoenix has landed in Sendai! I’m so honored to be representing @UChicago in my position at the beautiful @TohokuUnivAIMR. And most importantly, I found Kenichi - he and Phil are new best friends🥰

Campus at the witching hour … welcome to UChicago after dark.

One of my grad school manuscripts has been published in Advanced Science! Take a look if you're interested in how we modified single photon emission in TMDs to operate at ~4 times their typical temperature range:

Cyborg jellyfish sounds so cool

Researchers have harnessed Simple AI and Electric Pulses that work in synchronization with a jellyfish's natural locomotion, providing an environmentally friendly way to survey oceans. #Jellyfish #Cyborgs #ClimateChange #TheOcean #TohokuUniversity

Late afternoon light for Tea and Pipes in @Rockefeller_Chi. Listened to a lovely organ performance by student organist Dan Chen. I'm feeling privileged to work at a university so rich in culture and accessible arts! More pics in thread...

A lovely time was had.

[CMQT - Center for Molecular Quantum Transduction @CMQTnu]

Thank you to all who attended the Fourth Annual #CMQT Symposium!

116 attendees, 11 institutions, 6 speakers, 15 posters—and 4 therapy dogs!

A fantastic two days of science and collaboration.

@PrincetonMSE Oh wow the stakes have been raised! I want to do this now 😆

[Stern Lab NU @SternLab_NU]

Group member @Physics_Carin's talk about single photon emission at #APSSummit25! Another talk from NU representing generous collaboration and funding from @CMQTnu and @nuINQUIRE.

[S. Carin Gavin, PhD @Physics_Carin]

Pups at #APSSummit25 really made my day. Thank you @APSphysics !!!

@CMQTnu 🥰

[S. Carin Gavin, PhD @Physics_Carin]

I defended my thesis on Tuesday and officially became Dr. Gavin. Feeling very grateful to @NUPhysicsAstro, @CMQTnu, and @SternLab_NU. I still can't believe that it's real.
