BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physics to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”

How does the viscosity of a liquid arise from the microscopic motions of atoms and molecules? 70 years after Born&Green (1954) and Green-Kubo (1957), we have a new answer and a formula that gives the viscosity in terms of fundamental physical quantities 👉journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…

Our recent publication in The Journal of Physical Chemistry shows that phenols also stick to a metal surface in the same spirit as thiols, but a bit less enthusiastically. Similarly, they produce vibrational Stark shift upon electrochemical polarization. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our new preprint where we present a new first principles nonadiabatic dynamics method for polaritonic states. We show that the presence of an optical cavity can change the photochemical outcome after electronic excitation. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Discover the fascinating impact of water on hydrogen bonds in viscous solvents. Glycerol vs. acid-based DES – the battle unfolds! We thank SERB for funding our research at BagchiLab, CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory. #Chemistry #SolvationDynamics #Water sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

On the cover (!!), we explore ultrafast dynamics of elementary reactions under strong coupling. Congratulations to Ashley and her co-authors, Liying and Alex, on an insightful and careful investigation of VSC effects on chemistry in solution! doi.org/10.1063/5.0167…

How do polaritons relax and emit light? This new paper by Juan in Nature Communications attempts to solve a longstanding puzzle in the field and provides a possible answer. nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are inviting applications for postdoctoral positions in our group at TIFR Mumbai (Department of Chemical Sciences) focused on Ultrafast spectroscopy and dynamics of functional materials for energy harvesting, information storage and processing, and quantum technologies.

Why measuring solvent dynamics isn't as simple as it seems! Our study The Journal of Chemical Physics reveals that the "measuring stick" (vibrational probe) itself influences nanodomain localisation and observed dynamics in DESs.
