Solid-state sensitized liquid-chromophore triplet fusion upconversion Photochemical upconversion has several potential applications in optoelectronics. However, there is yet to be demonstrated a rational approach to high efficiencies in nanoscale solid state devices. He...

Honored to have been included in the excellent lineup of young scientists to present their work at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.

Thanks to the SIEF-AAS fellowship for the support.

Broadband transient full-Stokes luminescence spectroscopy - Nature A high-sensitivity, broadband, transient, full-Stokes spectroscopy setup is demonstrated, which can detect quickly varying small signals from chiral emitters.

Excited to share in @nature.com today: Broadband transient full-Stokes luminescence spectroscopy - detecting the most subtle changes in light polarization over time with unprecedented sensitivity. Grateful for the team that made this possible!😊 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #chirality #light

Started the day with an informative tour of Bayer Pharmaceuticals Berlin and went onto Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP), where our early career researchers presented short #chemistry talks and then went onto tour the #nmr and high throughput screening facilities

Made it to Berlin for the first leg of the SIEF-AAS Lindau fellowship looking forward to a week of visiting labs and industry along with the Australian delegates! #LINO25

A box of Koalas arrived today from the Australian Academy of Science. The countdown to #LINO25 has begun!

Prof Scolyer, coauthor and trial patient in the publication, is an Aussie hero!

New #crazywavefunction project paper. We use a tesselation of the 3Nd wave function to isolate the energies of bonding electrons. The C-C bond is just like H2! #chemsky

Would have joined online, but unfortunately it was prime sleep time in Sydney. Congratulations @feldmannlab.bsky.social!

Not to mention the firing of air traffic controllers….

Was there on Saturday, long lines. I am not convinced.

Submitted and now counting down the days for the next election…

Chiral light–matter interactions in solution-processable semiconductors - Nature Reviews Chemistry Endowing chirality onto solution-processable semiconductors unlocks new bounds for their spin and optoelectronic properties. This Review discusses the synthesis, properties, characterization methods, ...

Yay!

Enroute to NZ for #AMN11 and a post thesis submission holiday.

The Complicated Morality of Named Inventions

@brunoehrler.bsky.social et al. wrote a good article in 2021 on why the community should move on from the SQ limit. Clearly some people have not got the memo.

The article: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

I know the world has bigger problems at the moment but I thought the PV community had moved on.

PhD done!

Sad to report that our esteemed colleague, Sir Fraser Stoddart, passed away yesterday in Melbourne, surrounded by family. His legacy is the 90+ academics he trained who continue to push the boundaries of human knowledge. Vale Fraser.

Thesis writing over the summer ain’t too bad in Sydney.

Electronic Structure at the Perovskite/Rubrene Interface: The Effect of Surface Termination Perovskite films have rapidly emerged as leading active materials in optoelectronic devices due to their strong optical absorption, high carrier mobility, and ease of fabrication. While proving to be ...

Very excited to announce my first ever first author paper is out now in JPCC! We use Density Functional Theory to look at the interface between perovskite and rubrene to see what role surface termination plays

Great to catch up with old friends and to make some new ones at #aucaos. Time to catch up on some sleep.

Hope you are embracing the “Pride of the South”

Another great paper from @njrijs.bsky.social group. @oscarhlw.bsky.social shows off his drawing (and chemistry) skills! #chemsky
