A bit of an early Christmas present 🎁🎄@lucasgborges.bsky.social last paper has been published. Together with @tqdspec.bsky.social, we investigated how electronic strong coupling can selectively excite molecular vibrations using a STIRP-like mechanism #chemsky 🧪 #polaritonics

Cluster Formation and Phase Transitions Induced by Vibrational Strong Coupling Non - resonant Rayleigh scattering reveals that vibrational strong coupling induces clustering and phase transitions in liquids that undergo well defined transitions with temperature and solvent comp...

Extremely happy to share our work where vibrational strong coupling (VSC) induces cluster formation and phase transitions in solvent molecules!

Scientists harness polaritons, making a leap in molecular charge transfer Scientists have long speculated that polaritons—hybrids of light and matter—could be harnessed to control photochemistry. Now, researchers at the City University of New York (CUNY) have shown that these fleeting states can indeed drive a fundamental type of molecular reaction.
