As we shift towards a green economy, how can we track hydrogen leakages? What techniques can be developed to synthesize metastable quantum materials? How can we harness the interaction of light and matter to control chemical reactivity?  

The CCB winners of this year’s Star-Friedman Challenge for Promising Scientific Research are pursuing the answers to these questions. The CCB researchers selected for awards were Frank Keutsch, Richard Liu, Joonho Lee, and Jarad Mason. On Thursday, May 11, winners of the Star-Friedman Challenge gave short, accessible...
