Just posted on @ChemRxiv - a collaboration with the great @URochesterChem @MatsonLab, we use #THz spectroscopy to help reveal bonding information for heavy element (uranium) complexes. A great team effort and new direction for our group!

Excited to share this recent paper on using #MachineLearning methods to generate quantum vibrational dynamics through a modified QM-ML workflow. Great work from the team, with a cameo from the anharmonicity king @davidemitoli. Now out on @ChemRxiv

I agree with the highlighted. Too bad @JeffBezos doesn’t practice what his newspaper preaches. RIP @washingtonpost, you had a good run.

This is a cool one! We realize that thermally-initiated solid-state reactions are driven by terahertz phonons. Love how straightforward and clean this story is - the paper basically wrote itself! Much more soon! @ItsBenPartridge @URochesterChem @ChemRxiv
