  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Jennifer Dionne

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Title: Lighting Up the Oceans: Emerging Nanophotonic Platforms for Real-time Ocean Observation Abstract: The oceans are the largest biological habitat in the known universe and are among the least charted. Covering over two and a half times the area of Mars, the oceans host diverse microorganisms that cycle nearly all chemical elements and are responsible […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar 278: Neil Tomson

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Flyer: Prof. Neil Tomson Title: Ligand Flexibility in Surface-Inspired Cluster Chemistry Abstract: Metallic surfaces perform many chemical transformations that hold promise for the future energy economy, including dinitrogen reduction, ammonia oxidation, and alkane synthesis, but surfaces are difficult to tune, limiting chemists’ ability to improve their efficiencies. Molecular cluster complexes inspired by surface chemistry have […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: David Waldeck

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Prof. Waldeck Flyer Adventures with Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity Abstract: Abstract: Since Louis Pasteur, chemists have been fascinated by chirality, however its connection with electron spin was not realized until the 21st century and its implications for chemistry and biochemistry is only beginning to be revealed. I will discuss chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS), which […]
