🧵 Using nc-AFM, we've visualized #cyclodextrins (CDs) with submolecular resolution— molecules made of glucose units with the remarkable ability to "trap" other molecules. 1/10 (paper in Nat Comm: rdcu.be/dYWOL)

New paper from the Nan Jiang lab is featured on the cover of ACS Nano!

That’s an achievement for TERS

Enjoyed the time. A big congratulations Dr. Liu. Best of luck for the future. 😊😊

Amazing time spent and learned a lot. Absolute legend Fraser Stoddart . Rest in peace.

All you need to use a nickelocene molecule as an STM/AFM spin sensor! Here we cover all the experimental/theoretical details of this tip functionalization providing a Python script with a Heisenberg + cotunneling model to perform IETS simulations! Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Our perspective about multidimensional IR nanospectroscopy. Thank you The Journal of Chemical Physics, for the invitation to make the contribution. Action-based two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy on the horizon pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl…

Our work “Optical Spectroscopic Probing and Atomic Visualization of the Motion of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes on Ag(111)” was published by ACS Nano. Here, we combined tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study the mobility of NHC.ACS Nano

We delivered our system to Argonne National Laboratory. Thank you to the staff for your support and cooperation! #ArgonneNationalLaboratory anl.gov/profile/nathan…

We are inviting applications for postdoctoral positions in our group at TIFR Mumbai (Department of Chemical Sciences) focused on Ultrafast spectroscopy and dynamics of functional materials for energy harvesting, information storage and processing, and quantum technologies.

On this day in 1847, the first issue of the Chicago Tribune was published. Happy 178th birthday! #chicago

WRITING with MOLECULES: Tip-Induced Local Chemisorption of N-Heterocyclic Olefins (NHOs) on Cu(111) | J. Am. Chem. Soc. I am sorry that I could not write sooner...🙃 Great collaboration with Markus Heyde Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, Sergio Tosoni Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca and wonderful teams. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

🚀 New in J. Am. Chem. Soc. On-surface synthesis of quasi-planar, π-extended cycloparaphenylenes with tailored ring sizes and electronic properties! 💡 Planarization + π-extension → reduced gaps 🌀 Strained geometry, edge-localized orbitals 🔬 STM/STS + DFT 📄 doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

Reunited with my first Ph.D. Student Jeremy today: a full circle moment and a perfect way to mark my first day as a full professor. Grateful for the journey!
