New paper from the group @jmaterchem.rsc.org - we characterized how strong light-matter coupling impacts the photophysical properties of chlorophyll a. Read here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Super stoked about our second JACS! We establish allenes as reversible halochromes with dramatic optical property switching. This work could not have been this successful without the amazing support from @minjungson.bsky.social at BU and the Ding Lab at WFU. Check it out

Allenes as Stimuli-Responsive Chromophores for Visible to Near-Infrared Optical Modulation
Despite their rigid, orthogonal π-systems and synthetic modularity, allenes remain underexplored in functional material design. Here, we report that tetraaryl-substituted allenes undergo clean and rev...

(2/2) In my latest perspective article @science.org, I discuss the recent breakthroughs from the Xiong group on overcoming molecular disorder in polariton cavities: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Check out these two new papers from our group (1/2): With @cschaack.bsky.social and Wendu Ding's groups at Wake Forest University, we demonstrate how protonation can significantly modulate the optical properties of allenes @jacs.acspublications.org pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Excited to share the first publication from the Son group! We discuss how ultrafast spectroscopy can help unravel the exciting photophysics that take place in exciton-polaritons. pubs.aip.org/aip/cpr/arti...
Mapping the dynamics of energy relaxation in exciton–polaritons using ultrafast two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy
Exciton–polaritons are quasiparticles that are formed by strong interactions between light and electronic transitions of matter. Polariton states exhibit the ch
