On Friday we celebrated Prof. Stephen Neidle's 80th Birthday with a special scientific symposium at UCL School of Pharmacy, organised by @shozebhaider.bsky.social @ucllifesciences.bsky.social @fuchtermatt.bsky.social @christinecardin.bsky.social

Check out our recent work on introducing a small amount of trap states to enhance the detection selectivity of an organic circularly polarised photodetector. With a cool large area imager at the end! @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social, @spcoxford.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Come and join my group at @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social! We have an opening for a postdoc position in photopharmacology. Prior experience with photoswitches and photopharmacology essential. Deadline 27th April. For more details see my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru... #Chemsky

Matt Fuchter's @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social research group has for the first time discovered an approach to electrically switch organic LEDs (OLEDs) to emit either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light without changing the light-emitting molecules. https://ow.ly/urf150XGiyk

Nice write up of our work by @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social www.chem.ox.ac.uk/article/chem... #Chemsky #Matsky #Physics

Chemists design OLEDs that electrically flip the handedness of light
