The @Stache_Lab has discovered that a black pigment present in many plastics drives depolymerization. Their latest two papers, in @ACSPublications and @J_A_C_S, showcase the potential. Congrats Hanning, Sewon, Liat, Erik, Erin! Enjoy our feature: bit.ly/3PVs4nM

My lab's next paper is out @angew_chem! Disorder activates graphitic carbon for echem rxns—but can we distinguish it in situ? Varying disorder shows different electric-field IR responses! w/ Ry, Ben & calculations from Arpan @GalliGroup 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Really proud and happy to share this preprint with the community. It is the culmination of years of hard work by a great team of students and postdocs. Congrats to all involved in this project and in prior stepping stones!
Super excited to share this *radically* cool work from Deepta, En-Chih, Jeff, and Arunava on a general deaminative cross-coupling method guided by a unique ‘radical sorting’ mechanism. Congrats Team Deamination! Pre-print available now on @ChemRxiv tinyurl.com/bdekw7ds
