Totally Tubular
Label Totally Tubular Artist Ashley Arcidiacono Description Here you’ll see some of our many dyes that we use in the Hanson Research Group for future applications in dye-sensitized solar cells. These dyes are adsorbed on to mesoporous metal oxide nanoparticle films and, upon excitation, are able to inject electrons into the MOx conduction band. Type…

Ceci n’est pas une jellyfish
Label Ceci n’est pas une jellyfish Artist Erica Knorr Description As a perylene diimide derivative dried, it formed crystals in the bottom of the vial. A portion of those crystals made an interesting shape. These molecules will eventually be used for a singlet fission solar cells. Type DSLR, image cropped and background changed in photo-editing…
