What brings chemists JOY? When molecules GLOW! ✨

UV in, visible out. Turn off the light, and enjoy the ambience!

WHAT A CHEMIST WANTS

The thrill of finding single crystals in the vial… and the ecstasy when they diffract! 💎✨

Great job, Georg and Helena!

Interested in non-functional organic magnetic switches?

We actually do want to make them work — that’s why we study the ones that don’t, so we can make them function :-)
