About the seminar: Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as monolayer MoS2 exhibit strong excitonic effects and tunable electronic states that make them promising materials for photoelectrochemical energy conversion. In these atomically thin systems, the bandgap is not fixed but undergoes bandgap renormalization (BGR), shifting the conduction (ECB) and valence (EVB) band edge positions, in […]

About the seminar: Proteins that adopt distinct conformations in response to environmental cues are common in nature; for example, hemoglobin changes shape when it binds oxygen, and ion channels open or close in response to changes in voltage. Creating proteins that switch between two stable conformations is challenging because it involves optimizing a single protein […]

About the seminar: Photoluminescence intermittency also referred to as blinking is an inherent property and a common problem that reduces the brightness and stability of single colloidal quantum dots. Despite efforts to achieve blinking reduction through chemical engineering of the QD architecture and its environment, blinking still limits the QD applications such as single particle […]

About the seminar: Thiosemicarbazone complexes have been synthesized and studied for well over 50 years. More recently, thiosemicarbazones have been studied and investigated for their therapeutic potential and have shown to have anti-cancer,1,2 anti-bacterial,3 and anti-microbial effects.4 Several potential therapeutics have been studied both in vitro and in vivo,5 with a recent example being the […]

About the seminar: Lipid bilayers form the basis of the cell membrane, with the hydrophobic bilayer interior acting as the solvent for membrane proteins. These bilayers undergo a temperature-induced phase transition from an ordered phase to a disordered phase which affects membrane protein structure and functionality. Depth-dependent spectroscopic studies can describe these phase transitions. However, […]

About the seminar: Amorphous ices govern a range of cosmological processes and are potentially key materials for explaining the anomalies of liquid water. A substantial density gap between low-density and high-density amorphous ice with liquid water in the middle is a cornerstone of our current understanding of water. However, we show that ball milling “ordinary” […]
