Best poster award
Kristin Becker won the best poster award at the IUPAC23 conference! The poster entitled "Climbing 'Up' the window of dye sensitized upconversion for photovoltaics" reports Kristin's results on converting the IR part of the solar radiation around 1.5 um (i.e. with the energy below the silicon bandgap) to 980 nm which is directly absorbed by silicon solar cells. Congratulations, Kristin!

Recent highlights of our research
A Nature research highlight, titled "Versatile molecular motor pulls off two feats instead of the usual one", can be found here
Our University posted a nice "Science Lynx News" article (for a broad public) on fluorescing rotary motors, which were made in the Feringa Laboratory.
Spectroscopic analysis of these fluorescing rotary motors was done in the OCMP group of Prof. Phenitchnikov.
