Congrats to Noah for winning the campus wide honors thesis award!!!

[UMass Lowell’s Honors College @HonorsUML]

Congratulations to Adam Nir (Mechanical Engineering), Alice Zhou (Physics), & Noah Mason (Chemistry), this year's recipients of the Balasubramanian Family Honors Thesis Award, which is awarded to those honors students who conduct the best STEM-related Honors Thesis presentation!

[Matter_CP @Matter_CP]

The #MatterIssue45 cover highlights the work by @MichaelRossUML & colleagues @RossLabUML on alloying post-transition metals for tunable #plasmonic materials!

Very excited that our latest is live on @Matter_CP! We show Au and Ag plasmonic nanoparticle absorption can be tuned to higher energies (blue and UV) by alloying post-transition metals (Sn, etc.) @RossLabUML @UML_Sciences @UMLResearch https://t.co/oueCh9eYoc

[Michael Ross @MichaelRossUML]

Big accepted! Great way to kick off the year

[Kennedy College of Sciences at UMass Lowell @KCSciences_UML]

Congratulations to Prof. @MichaelRossUML (Chemistry) on his solo PI research grant from the @USNavyResearch for his work on energy related topics for #hydrogen and #CO2sequestration!

Great to see current undergraduate researcher Noah Mason (Chemistry) highlighted at the top of the https://t.co/zTPnZdpaoa homepage! Follow the link to learn about his experience. @UML_Sciences @UMLResearch

The Kennedy College of Sciences welcomed our first ever cohort of #CatalyzeUML students in #chemistry! It’s been a fun 3 days of living in the residence halls, learning about #nanoscience, and meeting students and faculty!

[Ross Lab @RossLabUML]

Great to have our second annual Ross-Reuther group party!

Did you know that through our partnership with the University of Versailles in France, the #KCS is hosting four undergraduate students for a 10-week internship under the supervision of faculty members from #Biology and #Chemistry departments?

@RossLabUML @snickclunk

[Kennedy College of Sciences at UMass Lowell @KCSciences_UML]

Amazing! Check out #Honors #Chem student, Noah Mason, who received the James Flack Norris and Theodore William Richards Undergraduate Summer Scholarship from #NESACS! https://t.co/BtgZYXcgk8

[Michael Ross @MichaelRossUML]

Excited to show you all some exciting catalysis and materials apps soon... The bulk of this was done by Maria over a few years and is an incredible piece of work we are quite proud of @mfonseca2016 Melissa and Noah (looking for PhD next year!) were also a big part of the effort.

[Michael Ross @MichaelRossUML]

Importantly, alloying does not significantly damp the absorption. High extinction coefficients are maintained even at ~25% post-transition metal content. Lots of interesting alloying and intermetallic formation as well- read the paper (and SI)!

[Michael Ross @MichaelRossUML]

Excited to share our latest work! Systematic alloying of post-transition metals into noble metals can controllably tune plasmon energies to higher energies. This is contrast to well-known effects of size, shape, or environment, all of which red-shift LSPRs https://t.co/u2vmHrviKj

@ChelmsfordSci @UML_Sciences @ACSUML @UMassLowell Good to hear it! See you next year we hope!

[Kennedy College of Sciences at UMass Lowell @KCSciences_UML]

It was an honor to host Stoneham High, Chelmsford High, and Salem High #chemistry students for our @ACSUML Chemistry Quiz Bowl! Way to pull out the win, @ChelmsfordSci !! We hope everyone enjoyed their visit, and thanks for stopping by the Dean’s Office! @RossLabUML @UMassLowell
