Nature Communications - The relation between magnetooptical activity and chirality has previously been confused. Chiral polymer films are presented with state-of-the-art Verdet constants, revealing...
It is wonderful to finally showcase our collaboration with @SwagerGroup and @jesswade on the Faraday rotation of chiral organic polymers. See our preprint. https://t.co/ScOXtMiLZk. For an explainer thread, check out the other place (🟦☁️). Well done to all authors!

🍎🍏🍂: Last weekend, our lab members went to Honey Pot Hill Orchards, just ~45 minutes of driving away from the lab, to enjoy some apple cider donuts and freshly picked apples! Presented below are beautiful pictures from Ming's camera, and stay tuned for more beautiful photos!

From explosives to ketones, all the way to PFAS, ethylene, and finally hydrogen sensing, the story of chemiresistors and biosensors in our lab still continues until today. Reunion with our alumni @RichrdLiu & @lennon_luo @HarvardCCB and a group photo in front of a group picture!

As our kick-off member today in the ACS Fall 2025 meeting, our gorgeous postdoc @ChiHsienWang also presented her work in the group about detecting NDMA in aqueous media using a novel colorimetric assay. Watch out as this work will be featured in a journal near you very soon!!!
