Just published in Crystal Growth & Design / ACS 🥳 in this work helmed by University of Rochester Chemistry Department PhD student Will Stoll, we investigate how subtle atomic substitutions influence intermolecular forces and downstream properties. Nice work to the team! luca catalano Rory Waterman University of Rochester #THz pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out this beautiful work now out in Crystal Growth & Design / ACS ! Big shout out to the whole team! Especially the talented Will Stoll! University of Rochester Chemistry Department UNIMORE ...and it is also Open Access! #OA

The IRES CRYSTAL Dynamics crew living the Italian life! First week down, first results already trickling in…I think we’re in store for a special summer 🇺🇸🇮🇹🍝 #THzDoesItBetter University of Rochester University of Rochester Chemistry Department luca catalano UNIMORE Università di Bologna

A fantastic start to the inaugural Telluride meeting on Structure and Reactivity in the Ordered Solid State! The blend of talks and inspiring discussions on structure, reactivity, and dynamics was remarkable. This gathering serves as a long-awaited forum for leaders in the

Amazing to be here! Fantastic talks and discussions in an incredible setting!

Week 1 of our CRYSTAL Dynamics IRES program is in the books, with a blog post from one of the cohort, William (Will) Archacki from Yale University Yale Chemistry. Stay tuned for lots more fun stuff from this crew! University of Rochester University of Rochester Chemistry Department luca catalano UNIMORE Università di Bologna ruggedthz.com/ires-crystal-d…

Fun day in the City of Rochester NY Rochester City School District sharing some chemistry awesomeness with 2nd graders. Big thanks to the U.S. National Science Foundation for supporting these important efforts to engage young students in STEM.

Smart crystals can now perform complex motions... Check out our most recent paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc., where we demonstrate that adaptive crystals with colossal thermal expansion are capable of complex locomotion, such as rolling and even climbing up a slope! New York University NYU Abu Dhabi

Super fun day - such great hosting at the Politecnico di Milano by Prof. Pierangelo Metrangolo that I forgot to get a picture. Also had a blast with touring the ultrafast labs with Profs. Giulio Cerullo and Eva Pogna. And of course I’ve got luca catalano “handling” me 🤣 #THzDoesItBetter

Our IRES program would be nothing without an epic team of partners and PIs. UNIMORE Profs. Piccini and Catalano (luca catalano); Università di Bologna Prof. Salzillo; Università di Parma Prof. Mazzeo. Great science, mentorship, and fun.

Just published in J. Mater. Chem. family - #THz spectroscopy identifies domains where *static* structural disorder promotes diagnostic phonons. Another example highlighting how sensitive THz methods are to subtle structural effects! luca catalano University of Rochester University of Rochester Chemistry Department pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Just out! Our latest paper uses #THz spectroscopy to crack a longstanding structural puzzle in cellulose polymorphs! Thanks to the whole team and in particular to the great Mike Ruggiero! Ruggiero Group

🎙 Meet luca catalano, invited speaker at ICCOSS 2025! He studies how structure and dynamics shape the properties of molecular crystals for electronics, optics, and pharma. 📍 Playa del Carmen | 🗓 July 13–18 📩 [email protected]

Really pleased to welcome a new member to the gang! Johanna Kölbel (Koelbel) joins University of Rochester Chemistry Department today by way of Brown University and Cambridge University, bringing immense expertise in #THz spectroscopy. Stay tuned for exciting developments! #THzDoesItBetter University of Rochester #PewPew

Back from the XXVI International Conference on Organic Solid State in Playa del Carmen 🇲🇽, where I gave an invited talk on dynamic crystals! Grateful for the inspiring science & great community. Thanks to Rodríguez-Molina group , Miguel Garciagaribay & the amazing team behind the scenes!

Playing with new toys in Germany Rigaku Rigaku Oxford Diffraction. Looking forward to seeing some cool new crystal structures! #3DED University of Rochester University of Rochester Chemistry Department

It was fun! So many results in a couple of days UNIMORE University of Rochester Rigaku Oxford Diffraction thanks for having us!
