photoexcited electrons in mutant plants cycling back to the cytochrome complex from ferredoxin when light intensity is too high in order to regulate photosynthetic rate x.com/naomicumpbell/…

A new way to enhance liquid state #NMR achieved in collaboration with the great team of NVision Imaging Technologies, a spin-out from our Institute. Laser light, photoexcited triplet states, solvents = enhanced #NMR chat.

Carbon nanodots (CDs) are very efficient and ultrafast (<100 fs) photoexcited electron donors. In our new 'Palermo&Paris paper' on The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters we show this behaviour at play within CD-Polyoxometalate nanohybrids, very promising for photocatalyis. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

For those like me who are late to the photoredox/photocatalysis party, this new review is incredibly useful in containing practical details (e.g. how to determine oxidation/reduction potentials of photoexcited states). Already saved me hours 'in the library'.
