Our Physical research covers a wide range of systems. Experimental and theoretical work features nanomaterials and devices, biophysical chemistry, atmospheric and environmental chemistry, the use of high resolution rovibronic spectra to characterize transition states, single molecule and single quantum dot spectroscopy, and condensed phase molecular dynamics.

Drawing inspiration from ancient chemical reactions
By studying cellular enzymes that perform difficult reactions, MIT chemist Dan Suess hopes to find new solutions to global energy challenges.
