University of Michigan engineers have developed a new way to accelerate light-driven chemical reactions. Led by Delia Milliron, the team created ultrathin nanocrystal layers that precisely control how light energy interacts with molecules, speeding reactions by synchronizing electronic motion with molecular vibrations. Read the full article to see how this breakthrough could shape future advances in energy, sensing, and photocatalysis.
