Researchers in Swager Group have designed a new type of photoredox catalyst that could make it easier to incorporate light-driven reactions into continuous flow manufacturing processes. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Researchers in the Swager Group have designed a new generation of Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) test, commonly seen in home pregnancy and COVID tests, that uses electronic polymers, rather than colored lines, to indicate a positive response. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Very grateful to Baxter International for the recognition. Big thank you to Tim and the whole Swager Group for supporting me in my endeavors. Will keep working hard to make sensors that could help people in need.

As the hydrogen economy expands, there's a need for better H2 sensors. Check our Lennon (Shao-Xiong Lennon Luo) & co's new chemiresistive sensor for hydrogen gas in ACS Nano! doi.org/10.1021/acsnan…

May we present *Dr.* Qilin He! 🎉 Huge congrats to him for a successful defense today! He'll be leaving our lab soon to work for Apple!

Privacy affects economic outcomes. Recent work has emphasized positive and negative externalities of privacy and data flows, from Avi Goldfarb and Verina F. Que nber.org/papers/w30943

From Tim:  Still hard to comprehend that Bob Grubbs is gone.  The memoir for the NAS is finally published and I think will be a good read for those that want to know more about this legendary chemist. nasonline.org/publications/b…

One of our first projects in the lab is online today as a preprint ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi….

This week’s #ChemSciPicks is on the continuous flow synthesis of pyridinium salts accelerated by multi-objective Bayesian optimisation with active learning by Dr Luke A. Baldwin et al. Air Force Research Lab - AFRL Swager Group UCLA Chem & Biochem doi.org/10.1039/D3SC01…

Presenting an exploration into methane emissions, detection methodologies, and policy insights. Join us in understanding the intricacies and implications of one of the most potent greenhouse gases.

It was fun working on this Primer article covering the fascinating field of CNT-based chemiresistive sensing — a journey I embarked on during my graduate studies. Explore with us the diverse applications and the transformative potential of this emerging technology. Swager Group

Congratulations to Professor Moungi Bawendi, who has been awarded the #NobelPrize In Chemistry!
