Cavendish researchers have found a new way to make forbidden molecular triplet states shine. This could lead to brighter OLED materials, better imaging technologies, and future quantum sensing 👉️https://t.co/1JCiv2MS4U

@AndrewGYork @zanehkoch Thanks! Thought something sounded fishy about the physics. Unsurprised that the biology doesn't check out too. Disappointing peer review and editorial oversight for this paper in Cell.

An excellent and thoroughly enjoyable retreat with the Rao Group in Fethiye, Türkiye. Thanks to Akshay and colleagues for the fun memories!

Cavendish researchers have developed a new technique using 'molecular antennas' to power nanoparticles that couldn't be electrically powered before🔋

This opens up exciting opportunities to use these excellent light emitters in everyday technology.

Can a pinch of salt lead to better medical tests, cleaner energy, and smarter sensors?

Researchers have shown that a layer of chloride ions, like those in table salt, can fundamentally alter the behaviour of gold nanoparticles.

Advert closing soon! It'll be a really cool project, and joining a fantastic team in @DeptofPhysics

[Rakesh Arul @quantizedfella]

New 2 year postdoctoral research fellowship in @DeptofPhysics (NP,OE, AMOP), funded by a joint EPSRC-NSF research grant with @ucsd_yuen. If you're interested in AMO, room-temperature organic quantum technologies and nanophotonics, apply to join the team!

✨ Cavendish researchers have found a way to tune tiny clusters of metal nanoparticles to interact with light in surprising ways.
The findings could improve non-invasive sensing technologies for #healthcare and environmental monitoring.

In 1974, the mathematician Douglas Hofstadter used a graphing calculator to find a fractal pattern in how electrons behave. His adviser dismissed it as numerology. The fractal, called the Hofstadter butterfly, is now known to be a real-life phenomenon. https://t.co/wZ6KDc2bU5

@Robert_Palgrave Mixed valency or problems with partitioning electrons neatly? Or chemistry-wise in that hydroxides and other surface species may be present for ambient processed oxides, and show additional peaks?

Our new paper showing how molecular vibrations march in sync within plasmonic nanogaps, allowing us to engineer their coherence. Useful applications in hot electron chemistry and controlling quantum delocalization. Congrats to Fiona and team from @DeptofPhysics!

The creative process in science has its thinking tools, which we all learn eventually. Here are the 12 articles that Martin and I wrote about them, including "It takes two to think" and "A hypothesis is a liability". https://t.co/UEfc5Zk9c2 @nightsciencepod @MartinJLercher
