Former Stoddart Group PhD Student, Albert Fahrenbach, who was just promoted to Senior Lecturer in a continuing position at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney Australia, has now received a prestigious Australian Research Council Future Fellowship. This Future Fellowship will support Albert’s research into origins-of-life chemistry, specifically, how template-directed synthesis could have

A review article entitled “Controlling Dynamics in Extended Molecular Frameworks” has been published in Nature Reviews Chemistry by Postdoctoral Fellow Liang Feng. Molecular machines are essential dynamic components for fuel production, cargo delivery, information storage and processing in living systems. Scientists have demonstrated that they can design and synthesize artificial molecular machines that operate efficiently

A research article entitled “Alkoxy-Substituted Quadrupolar Fluorescent Dyes” has been published recently in Journal of the American Chemical Society by Postdoctoral Fellow Yuanning Feng. Polar and polarizable π-conjugated organic molecules containing push–pull chromophores attracted a lot of attention of late. The design and synthesis of fluorescent dyes containing push–pull chromophores has emerged as a hot area
