June 9, 2010 A little milestone: Qing-Jiang's latest Pacman paper that has just been accepted is the 50th paper from this group (number 55 if refereed book chapters are counted also.) Thank you to all who contributed along the way − current and former students, postdocs and collaborators, former supervisors, friends and family.
May 2010 And another award at the CSC conference: Our former collaborator Danny Leznoff will receive the Strem Chemicals Award for Pure or Applied Inorganic Chemistry.

May 2010 Welcome to our newest undergraduate researchers, Craig Peeples and Guy Chapellaz who joined the group effective May 3. Craig is working with Grigory on peroxo actinide complexes, and Guy is working with Abu on dye-iodine (dye-iodide) interactions within the general DSSC field.
May 2010 New pictures posted on the group pages. (Probably not of the greatest photographic quality, but hopefully informative ...)
April 2010 It seems that persistence and perserverance pays, after all − I am happy to report that Samuel has managed to clear all visa and other hurdles to be able go to Los Alamos National Laboratory for the summer term (May through August). Samuel has been awarded a Seaborg Institute Research Fellowship. When not exploring the mountains and deserts of New Mexico, he will be working with Dr. Enrique Batista. Congratulations, and enjoy the Southwest, Samuel!
