Now published #OpenAccess: Mixing indium tin oxide nanocrystals with different %Sn in metasurface assemblies gives widely tunable collective infrared optical properties.

Part of our Texas MRSEC collaboration with @TM_Truskett, led by Kihoon Kim, with Zach Sherman and Woo Je Chang at UT ChE and Angela Cleri + JP Maria (Penn St MSE).

I was so impressed by the student and postdoc presenters and participants at the Nano4Energy GRS this weekend and the GRC is off to a great start here in Ventura, too. The view from my #MorningRun yesterday was awesome and our opening speakers gave such a motivating view of the field, too.

I appreciate the clarity from @holden on the folly of academic administrators trying to head off conservative political forces by capitulation.

"Every time college and university administrators or organizations like the College Board try to placate conservative actors, they get played."

The sharp faceting of metal oxide nanocubes improves their #plasmonic sensitivity. The nanocube corner resonance is the most sensitive and, surprisingly, less impacted by surface depletion.

Led by Benjamin Roman (Texas ChE) with Sofia Shubert-Zuleta (UT Chemistry) and talented undergrad researchers.

Placing tin #dopants selectively in the core or shell region of #plasmonic indium oxide #colloidal #nanocrystals controls not only dual-band spectral features, but also the strong spectral modulation and near-field modulation when electrons are added by chemical reduction.

A great read with faculty searches underway.

Discipline-Based Diversity Research in Chemistry by Rigoberto Hernandez

"hold[ing] brilliance as a stand-out descriptor necessary for success correlates with reduced diverse participation within their faculty... women and URPOC tend to be inequitably described by... words such as brilliance and genius."

Thermoreversible nanocrystal gels as IR optical metamaterials! Led by Jiho Kang, our Texas MRSEC team combines simulation and expt to show how mixing NCs with different shapes, compositions, and sizes allows tuning of spectra and near-field hot spots.

Excited for my colleague Joaquin Resasco who published the first original research from his group at #TexasChe, led by our co-advised student Jay Bender.

We discerned the mechanistic influence of cations on rates for the hydrogen evolution reaction #HER during water electrolysis in base and acid.

We see the effects of nanocrystals interacting, whether they precipitate, assemble, or stay well dispersed. @kofi_chemist used small-angle X-ray scattering to measure their interactions, finding oleate-capped NCs act as hard spheres. Now @JPhysChem Lett.

Thinking about the clean energy transition, we recognize (maybe not enough) the need to use energy wisely, not wastefully, no matter the source.

It should not be controversial to make efficient use of resources (raw materials + energy) by avoiding frivolous use of plastic, no matter the feedstock.
