Let’s face it. They had us hooked at photocatalytic microrobots. We often focus on examples of using light to make things, but there is certainly a (much larger?) world out there that would much rather destroy things. We have intended to write a bit about...

A New Potent Photooxidant Pushing the limits of LED driven visible-light photocatalysis requires some creative thinking to get more redox potential out of the tools that are readily available to us. A recent report by Wickens and coworkers demonstrates a unique...

Spring is nearly here in Massachusetts. The snow has almost completely melted, and the days are getting longer. Soon the first flowers will bloom and some of those flowers are catalysts for photoredox cross-coupling reactions. Wait, what? File this work that...

How They Make That Color For Your LED Everyone reading this probably knows what metals, ligands and other reagents are in the reaction that is currently stirring under their hood. And as chemists, we can often be annoyingly particular about everything that goes into...
