Physical Chemistry

From the elucidation of the properties and behavior of nanostructures to the characterization of the interior workings of individual cells to the  preparation of the first quantum spin liquid, research in experimental physical chemistry and chemical physics is an intriguing and inviting area of study in CCB.

Newly developed spectroscopic methods help researchers follow reactions on surfaces, in the stratosphere, in live cells, all the way down to the single photon level, and in so doing help guide further design of new systems.
