Congratulations to Louis Brus, Moungi Bawendi, and Alexi Ekimov on their Nobel Prize in Chemistry! Here is a recent video of Louis providing his perspective on changes in science during his lifetime. #nobelprizechemistry #NobelPrize2023 youtube.com/watch?v=5QQ3bf…

Congratulations to my PhD advisor Louis Brus on his well deserved Nobel Prize win for the discovery of QDs! A true scientist's scientist, 100% substance and 0% hype, always seeking out important new scientific questions. An inspiration to so many, and a genuinely kind person!

Building on this thread, Louis Brus has authored multiple papers over the years that stand out in my memory as moments that fundamentally shifted my mental picture of physical phenomena in materials. Some examples:
Will Tisdale@TisdaleWA
@KamatlabND @JChemPhys Amazing papers! As a PhD student I recall my reading of both these papers as the “aha” moment when I finally understood - quantitatively - how a QD was different from a cluster/molecule. Gorgeous pedagogical development.

QUANTUM DOTS WIN THE NOBEL!! Particular congratulations to Louis Brus, who has been an inspirational mentor to me and so many others in the field.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.”

Great to have opportunity to visit with some of the @whitmancollege students doing science research on campus this week! Many thanks to the faculty who provide these great opportunities and to all who welcomed me and explained the terrific work happening this summer !

Excited to have >20 students joining us for summer research in the chemistry department this year! We kicked things off yesterday with a quick break from lab work for coffee, pastries, and introductions:

This is so cool! Congrats to the team!

Check out our latest work in @Nature! We show that photon avalanching nanoparticles can be switched on and off repeatedly using light, which allows us to perform <1 Å accuracy super-resolution imaging and 3D nanopatterning. nature.com/articles/s4158… (open access link in 🧵)

@happykitten62 All you need is a furnace, some LN2, and a strong magnet to watch superconductors float! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ed…

Excited to share our latest work on quantum dot spin states now out in @J_A_C_S, featuring three @AmherstCollege students as co-authors! Big thanks to @argonne scientists for performing the spin measurements.

@ARChianese As someone who has spent a lot of time around both of these elements, I vote too risky. With highly trained research UGs I think it’s totally possible to be safe, but in an UG teaching lab chances are too high for a mistake, and any exposure is bad exposure.
English
Looking for some opinions: is the toxicity of cadmium oxide and selenium bad enough that a CdS quantum dot synthesis in an undergraduate lab is too risky? The lab has mostly first-year students.

Come join us at Whitman Chemistry next year!
Whitman Chemistry@WhitmanChem
Whitman Chemistry is searching for TWO visiting colleagues for the next academic year! One focused on organic (apply.interfolio.com/119311) and one on pchem/general chemistry (apply.interfolio.com/119293). We have an amazing department and fantastic students; please spread the word!

@sciencegeist @Frank_Leibfarth @Chemjobber @JakeYeston @AmerChemSociety @cenmag That feels so accurate.
English
There’s not enough space in a tweet or even a thread, but @AmerChemSociety choosing the week before Christmas to basically decapitate the news magazine that informs the world about the chemical enterprise is not what you expect to see from a non-profit membership organization.
English
@NeilWithers @cenmag Also super curious. Can @ChemistryWorld get us the scoop on what’s going on over at c&en? It doesn’t seem like we’re going to get an answer from them…

@ARingerMcDonald These are the types of “innovate teaching of pchem” insights that I want to learn at the ACS symposium!
English
In my study, I have learned that if you are going to bring the Pchem students snacks to help energize them for their test, the optimal snack combination is a salty snack, a fruit snack, and candy. Be sure to get some non-peanut candy for people who are allergic.
English
Abstracts are due today! This is gearing up to be an incredible symposium; if you have some innovative way to teach pchem (lecture or lab) this would be a fantastic venue to share it!
Prof. Ashley Ringer McDonald@ARingerMcDonald
There’s only 3 days left to get your abstract submitted for our PHYS symposium “Innovative Teaching in Physical Chemistry” so don’t delay! @lizz_thrall @gracestokes @markphendricks

I’ve said it before, but we live in the future. We’re watching nanocrystals grow on the atomic scale!
Berkeley Lab@BerkeleyLab
This atomic-scale movie upends a 100-year-old theory! Thanks to record-breaking 🔬 video resolution at our @molecularfoundry, scientists have discovered 🔎 how atomic-scale defects direct #nanoparticle growth. Check it out ⬇️ newscenter.lbl.gov/2022/07/26/how…

One of these symposia is “Innovative Teaching in Physical Chemistry”, organized by me, @lizz_thrall, @gracestokes, and @markphendricks. This covers all physical chemistry topics (theory and experiment) and all courses (lecture and lab)! Get those abstracts submitted by Oct. 17!!
MolSSI@MolSSI_NSF
The ACS Division of Physical Chemistry is hosting 9 symposia during the Spring 2023 ACS Meeting in Indianapolis (March 26-30). Visit the PHYS website for the complete listing. The abstract submission deadline is October 17. phys-acs.org/event/acs-spri…
