Just published in @ChemicalScience . We show a new excited state phenomenon where a Brønsted photoacid can be hacked to act as a Lewis photoacid. We show that it can be applied to CO2 photo release, which is needed in CO2 capture/release technologies.

Our recent work couples electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with interfacial vibrational spectroscopy to reveal the intricate interplay between the dynamics of ions and solvents in the double layer. Work by @delibas_berk @Sumit___Sahu Ezgi and Delaney

@poojaaggarwal05 @JahanDawlaty Thanks Pooja Di

Excited to share our new JACS paper introducing VibREIS. By combining EIS with interfacial IR spectroscopy, we directly resolved correlated ion and water motion inside EDL, revealing dynamics hidden from conventional impedance measurements. https://t.co/54Dx8sxrH5 @JahanDawlaty

Design rules for tuning charge-transfer emission in donor–acceptor nanohoops 🌈 By varying strain, connectivity, and heterocycle incorporation, we @nanohoops achieve predictable red-shifted emission in curved π-systems https://t.co/4WHFIfmpSP

Thrilled to share my first first-author paper in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters!

We quantified the Hammett-type parameters for metal ions, showing they act as tunable electron-withdrawing groups via electrostatics. @JahanDawlaty @USCChemistry

Statement of Prof. David Gross, Nobel Laureate 2004, at the recently concluded Quantum India Bengaluru 2025. This one sentence sums up the conference for me.

@VishalGovindRao @IITKanpur @ANRFIndia Congrats to the team 👏

[Sascha Feldmann @sascha_feldmann]

Excited to share in @Nature today: Broadband transient full-Stokes luminescence spectroscopy - detecting the most subtle changes in light polarization over time with unprecedented sensitivity. Grateful for the team that made this possible!😊 @EPFL_en https://t.co/0PbxOxToyB

@VishalGovindRao @IITKanpur Congratulation to the team.

[Sumit Sahu @Sumit___Sahu]

I truly resonate with this article. Last year, as a master's student, I heard many tough PhD stories from seniors that made me rethink my decision to pursue a PhD. But thanks to the labs that trained me to think and work logically. But, not everyone gets that kind of support.

[Vishal Govind Rao @VishalGovindRao]

In my interview with @the_hindu, I spoke about why many PhD students lose motivation: they’re often treated like data generators. We must nurture researchers who can write their own papers, think critically, design experiments with purpose, and defend their work with clarity.
