5.9 million tonnes of #lithium reserves have been found for the first time in the country in #JammuAndKashmir, the Union Government said today. Lithium is a non-ferrous metal and is one of the key components in EV batteries. Full report - bit.ly/3DWa1rK

One reason why airplanes are white is because it costs a lot of money to paint them. Anyway, off to a 30hr journey to see my people in-person.

People come back and settle in India after staying long in a foreign country is because they miss McDonald's McAloo tikki. #america #canada #australia #germany #visa #studyabroad #travelblogger #Foodie

Giving solids a makeover using strong fields. Floquet-Bloch modes are everything you need. Check out Figure 4 in the paper, it is very pretty.

A whole week of learning science and pronouncing German tram stations.

First day of the parliament . #WrestlersProtests

I feel attacked by this meme 😂

"You're so close to finishing"

The Franco Group at the University of Rochester turns 10 years old! It really has been super exciting to push quantum frontiers in molecular and material science! Every single day I feel deeply privileged to be learning from such a fun and wonderfully talented gang! Pics over the years, a 🧵!

Still have the original Twitter app. Anybody wants to buy the phone can ping me.

It is finally out...... Now everyone can compute the optical absorption properties of their favorite material "dressed" by arbitrary drive laser intensity and photon energy and observe Floquet replicas in solids.

PAPER ALERT!! 👉👉doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… 👈👈 Dressing materials with light offers the possibility of creating novel materials with properties on demand. But how to characterize the effective response properties of these highly non-equilibrium states of matter? Physical Review B

Super excited to welcome Roman Korol as a postdoc in our group! Roman just received his Ph.D. from Caltech with Goddard and Thomas Miller, after undergraduate studies University of Toronto Chemistry at UofT. University of Rochester he wil push the limits of analog quantum simulation! Thanks U.S. National Science Foundation for making this happen!!

With the mighty Leopoldo Mejía and Pilar Cossio we developed a microscopic theory for the conductance histogram in molecular electronics experiments, #justpublished in Nature Communications! University of Rochester University of Rochester Chemistry Department Flatiron Institute Talento 100% 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴!! doi.org/10.1038/s41467… A 🧵!

Very happy to share our last contribution to the molecular electronics field! Together with Franco Research Group - U. Rochester and Pilar Cossio we have developed a microscopic theory for the conductance histograms in molecular break-juntion experiments! Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

How does a molecule 👉really👈 decoheres in solvent? In this #justpublished PNASNews, we developed a strategy to finally elucidate the chemical principles of electronic quantum decoherence! tinyurl.com/3sxd9t8c After 10+ years of research…#wecantbelievethisishappening!🧵

Our work on the chemistry of quantum decoherence in the news! New strategy reveals ‘full chemical complexity’ of quantum decoherence scienmag.com/new-strategy-r… Cover art by the amazingly talented Anny Ostau De Lafont!

Tackling universal challenges with global scientists.

Preprint Alert in Exact Open Quantum Dynamics! In this amazing contribution, Xinxian Chen Xinxian Chen isolated a 🤯whole class🤯 of exact quantum master equations that contains the HEOM as a special case! We call this new scheme 👉Bexcitonics👈 arxiv.org/abs/2401.11049 🧵1/n
