🚀 Implications for plasmonic catalysis:
Distinguishing thermal from non-thermal effects is crucial to realizing the full potential of this field. We urge the field to consider these concepts when conducting and reviewing research in order to accurately guide future efforts.

Come see how precise materials synthesis, advanced theory, and operando spectroscopy work together to understand dynamics in catalysis. This work was performed with @cargnellogroup in collaboration with @SUNCAT_Center.
@stchavez from @UCLA @ 5pm presenting on "Identifying and Mitigating Deactivation Pathways in Bimetallic Pt Alloy Oxidation Catalysts." (4/4)

Yuzhang doing Yuzhang things. Congrats! @YuzhangLi @UclaCBE
Thrilled to receive the @NIH Director’s New Innovator Award!🚀 This launches a new research area for us to study dynamic processes at electrified interfaces in biology (e.g., ⚡️🧠 during an action potential) using our novel cryo-EM tools developed for #batteries. #NIHHighRisk
