A @NobelPrize for a Badger 🏅
Congratulations to Francis Halzen, named the 2026 Nobel laureate in physics for his groundbreaking work with @uw_icecube to advance our understanding of neutrinos and the universe’s most energetic events.

Very excited to share our new work on stable #leadfree#perovskite semiconductors published today in @NatureMaterials!
The new 2D Sn perovskites are resilient to air over several months, and enable durable and efficient solar cells. Check it out!👇

This project took ~3 years across multiple institutions, and I am grateful for guidance from @SongJin_Chem and my mentors at @NatLabRockies, Kai Zhu and Matt Beard. Many thanks also to our collaborators at @ChoiseEfrc, CU-Boulder, and U. Toledo for elevating this work! 🙌🎉
Very excited to share my first paper in @J_A_C_S!
Discover how stable & high-performance #leadfree quasi-2D perovskites can be rationally designed by "balancing" their structures with the right organic cations 👇

We also surveyed 60+ quasi-2D perovskite structures to show how this new "cage balancing" strategy can be broadly achieved and understood. Check it out!
Many thanks to @SongJin_Chem@PetrozzaGroup@DanCortecchia and colleagues for their contributions to this work! 🙌 (2/2)

Congratulations to the Jin group for winning the photo contest at the Wisconsin Science Festival! Their Photo, "Chemistry of Crystals" shows off luminescent crystals to explain how chemical structure relates to certain properties.

For the first time, our @MarsCuriosity rover has found crystals of pure sulfur on the Red Planet—after rolling over a rock and cracking it open: go.nasa.gov/4bLGG1v

It was a wonderful time meeting everyone, hearing about and presenting exciting new research at the unconventional semiconductors #GRC! Very grateful to have received a poster award. Huge thanks to the chairs Hanwei, @IvanMoraSero, and organizers for the engaging program!
Congratulations to all of the poster award winners at #GRC &GRS on Unconventional Semiconductors! 🙌🎉 @GordonConf
Congrats to both Kristel Forlano and Chris @CTTriggs from @SongJin_group for winning the poster awards!👍
Excited to be giving my first conference talk this Monday at the Boston MRS conference! Come check out my work with the @SongJin_group on the rational design of high stability 2D tin halide perovskites! @Materials_MRS#F23MRS
Outreach is always very rewarding, and it's fun to see curious minds, young and old, leave feeling inspired. Huge thanks to everyone involved: Kristel, Gerardo, Jaan, Kaylin, Yareslie, and 1st year PhD students Jalianet and Rich @RBotz19!
Kinda frosty in MSP today, so I had the chance to see @Delta planes (mine included) being de-iced using propylene glycol. Cool to watch all the action! More if you're curious: news.delta.com/decoding-delt…
