Fall party with the Landes group at their house on Sunday, 10/19/2025!

The recently published Science Advances paper gets featured in the Chemistry newsletter. A joint collaboration with the Landes group demonstrates how resonance energy transfer from a gold nanorod to a molecule (Methylene Blue), can efficiently convert light energy into different forms until it becomes part of the final product of the reaction, in this case, a […]
