My seniors and great collaborators, Ide-sensei and Horie-sensei, have uploaded their paper on ChemRxiv. They successfully synthesized CPP analogues containing azobenzene units using the gold-template method and achieved stimuli-responsive structural transformation! Good job!!

Excited to share this collaborative work with Yamada group 千葉大学広報 and Masaki group National Tsing Hua University 國立清華大學, unveiling the fascinating role of crown ether in the growth of cobalt nano clusters on surface! 🔬 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congrats to Surojit and the team on another remarkable piece of art with piezoelectric crystals!

Ever wondered how artificial molecular pumps work? Our latest Primer explores the design features and underlying fundamental physical principles of these molecular pumps. go.nature.com/4bDcBCp

It’s been a while but check out our work published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Using just ferrocene and PBMA, we’ve crafted a simple yet exquisite photoresponsive actuator. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Another collaborative work with Yamada group at Chiba Univ. is now published in Nanoscale Horizons -Designing 2D stripe winding network through crown-ether intermediate Ullmann coupling on Cu(111) surface pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Check out our latest work on NDMA sensing in water!

This paper is dedicated to Prof Wei Jiang of SUSTech 南方科技大学, who passed away on the Christmas Day of 2022. Jiang Group@SUSTech also demonstrated the separation of cyclohexene/cyclohexane using the famous “naphthotube”

Discover the future of molecular control on surfaces! Our latest work collaborating with Yamada group from 千葉大学広報 This research introduces a bottom-up strategy to achieve reversible sliding motion in ferrocene-based rod on noble metal surfaces. doi.org/10.1002/smll.2…

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Sir Fraser Stoddart, Nobel Laureate and cherished member of Northwestern. His groundbreaking contributions transformed the field of #chemistry and inspired countless scientists worldwide. ➡️ bit.ly/stoddart-in-me…

Heartbroken to hear the news. I’ll always remember him sitting in his office with the door open, offering a warm greeting to everone who stopped by. I’ll never forget how he shaped my thoughts on science and life. You’ll always be in our thoughts. May you rest in peace, Fraser.

James Fraser Stoddart obituary: chemist and nanotechnology pioneer who built molecular machines nature.com/articles/d4158… Dave Leigh Thanks a lot, Dave.

To be your mentee was a sheer delight. It's been a surreal & emotionally demanding day today. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to be with you again. There's comfort in knowing where you rest until we can visit again. Farewell, you old man. See you in the skies & in my ❤️

Many thanks to Fiona for the privilege of delivering my tribute on the special day. I faltered at the end, overwhelmed by emotion, trying to hold back tears. I thought it was not ideal, but Alyssa Avestro, PhD said that is what made it perfect. Goodbye, Edinburgh. Goodbye, my dear Fraser!

Excited to share our latest publication in Nature Chemistry ! We extend the crystalline sponge method by using coordination cages crystallized with a “sticker” anion. This strategy enables X‑ray analysis of even medium‑sized pharmaceutical molecules. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Our latest J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper is out! A 2.6 nm metal–organic pillar tubular host that shows anion-dependent chiral self-sorting and selectively recognizes long-chain “bad” saturated fatty acids over “healthy” polyunsaturated ones like DHA. 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Chi-Hsien Wang with her distinguished poster as the next presenter for our group in 2025 MIT Chemistry Organic Retreat! We still have more science to share with you all throughout the day!

📒: It is a BUSY day for the🦞's in the ACS Fall 2025 tomorrow! At 9:55 AM in room 207B, Chi-Hsien Wang is kicking off with her podium presentation under the title "Development of a novel colorimetric assay for N-nitrosodimethylamine detection in aqueous solution." See you there!
