💡 Światło w sprężynie? To możliwe, a w dodatku bardzo przydatne. O co dokładnie chodzi? Wytłumaczyć to może prof. Wiktor Lewandowski z @ChemistryUW, który przed chwilą został ogłoszony laureatem Nagrody @NCN_PL 2024 w obszarze nauk ścisłych i technicznych. Gratulujemy 👏 Więcej ⬇️ uw.edu.pl/prof-wiktor-le…

Great news - Mateusz Zarzeczny got awarded a Student Poster Award at @ILCC2024 !! We are so proud of our brilliant students 🥳🥳🥳

@LizMarzan_Lab @CICbiomaGUNE Congratulations David!!! 🥳🥳

Our warmest congratulations to the new Dr. David Vila-Liarte @LizMarzan_Lab @CICbiomaGUNE who did a great job defending his PhD work on chiral plasmonic nanostructures earlier today 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The discovery of a new way of ordering liquid crystals changes the understanding of organic matter. It can be used in fluid physics, liquid crystal materials, organic electronics, photonics and molecular biology. @WAT_edu @UniWarszawski @ScienceMagazine scienceinpoland.pl/en/news/news%2…

Starting summer with some great news ☀️ Our PhD student Natalia Kowalska has been awarded the prestigious START scholarship, granted by the Foundation for Polish Science, to outstanding young scientists under the age of 30. Congratulations Natalia!!! 🥳🥳🥳 #jestemStartowcem

Now out in Nature Photonics we review the latest on circ. pol. LEDs, check it out! Thanks for letting me join the fun, team @FuchterMatt & the Imperial Crew! 🙏 @jesswade @Nicogaspa nature.com/articles/s4156…

Brawo Dorota!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

Metal #nano particles can exist in different structural forms (similar to molecular isomers) which controls how they grow into larger NPs. The latest #research from my group @RiceUniversity published in @J_A_C_S shows how to purify these species #Chem. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

This cholesteric liquid crystal elastomer has an unusual helical axis distortion, which leads to this 🌈 of colours on stretching Read the article: ow.ly/V9rO50Q5E9R

This procedure can also be easily applied to films doped with metal nanoparticles leading to chiral plasmonic films with freeley encoded handedness! This work would not be possible without the great collaboration with Paweł Majewski @ChemistryUW

🔹The recepie is simple: 1. Take a compund that forms chiral domains when crystallizing🧬2. Make a thin film of it with chaotic domains of both handednesses⛓️3. Use laser in microscope to locally melt and control crystallization front propagation🔬4. Automatize the process!🦾

Did you know that chiral organic films do not have to be of a single handedness?! We just developed a way to freely determine chirality using a laser in microscope set up leading to films with bi-chiral pixels 🔬🔬Read about it in the Advanced Materials onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

A good home for our joint research! Thank you again for the exciting collaboration! @NatureChemistry @BaranLabReads @UniWarszawski @JoannaK_UW

Materials from dots... Researchers at Jilin University develop macroscopic #materials that are both recastable and mechanically robust, despite being composed purely of #carbon #dots. @NatureComms Out now! 👉 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Twisted or wrinkled Au nanorods? Easy to tune with the appropriate chiral inducer. Great collaboration work by @LizMarzan_Lab @EmatSarabals @CICAUDC @CICbiomaGUNE @Ikerbasque @brta_eus @cinbio_uvigo now published in @NanoLetters pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
