Come check out our paper on fluoride surface passivation of InP and II-VI QDs. Great work everyone!

[Jonathan Owen @rubipy]

Fluoride is an excellent passivating ligand for quantum dots. Very thorough and detailed look at the reaction of oleylammonium fluoride with InP and II-VI QDs in our latest paper with @theowenlab and @Rodolphevallei1. https://t.co/BX0MXMcnOI

Great talk by @Rodolphevallei1 at Friday Synthesis today!

[theowenlab @theowenlab]

We had a blast last week at Girls' Science Day learning about electrochemistry and making batteries out of fruits and vegetables! @GirlsScienceDa1

[Jonathan Owen @rubipy]

Looking forward to summarizing our latest mechanistic conclusions on the origin of size distributions. Thanks for the invitation @ACSINORDivision !

[theowenlab @theowenlab]

Wonderful Moments in Materials Seminar talk by @Rodolphevallei1 on his work on InP QDs!

[theowenlab @theowenlab]

Congratulations to Dr. Natalie Saenz for an enlightening and amazing defense! We are so proud of you and wish you the best for your next adventure!

[theowenlab @theowenlab]

Congrats to our very own Natalie Saenz for her award-winning poster at the Gordon Research Conference on Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals!

[theowenlab @theowenlab]

The group had a blast in the Adirondacks a couple weeks back!

[theowenlab @theowenlab]

Congrats to @BereketLulseged for passing her 2nd year defense!

[Jonathan Owen @rubipy]

The second of 2 articles in @ChemicalScience on the nucleation and growth of PbS QDs studied with in situ SAXS at @esrfsynchrotron. I dreamt about this as a postdoc and only possible with @b_abk6 and @theowenlab. https://t.co/6CoH51x2mD
