Benjamin Lienhard, a postdoctoral fellow with the Rabitz Group, has been invited to attend the 73^rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting/Physics in Germany this summer. This prestigious international forum brings Nobel laureates together with the brightest young academics working today.

Backed by a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Weichman Lab will provide benchmarks to interpret data from NASA’s infrared space telescopes and identify new classes of molecules formed in space.

Researchers led by grad student Alice Long take diols and bromoalcohols to form strained bicyclic, fused, and spirocyclic compounds through a new concept called couple-close.

Researchers stitch three molecules together with a sorting technique that “tames” radicals, allowing them to form quaternary centers that were previously inaccessible and expand on current cross-coupling chemistries.

Postdoc Katerina Kanevche will lead the team planning to build a first-of-its-kind microscope that images small molecules within a cell and simultaneously determines their chemical composition.

The Schoop Lab in concert with Princeton Physics discovers a “surprising” process that rapidly and uniformly disperses palladium and other metals over a confined, two dimensional space at a temperature far below its melting point.
