In the course of my group’s efforts to discover new asymmetric catalytic reactions, we have had occasion to perform deep mechanistic analyses of the catalysts we have discovered. In this lecture, I will relate different stories where seemingly minor “misbehaviors” in our experimental data were examined closely and found to ...

There’s Plenty of Diffusion at the Bottom The formulation of quantum mechanics in the late 1920s forever changed physics. More recently, quantum materials have emerged, offering fascinating opportunities in physical chemistry. Elementary interactions mediated by the diffusion of electrons, protons, atoms, molecules, and other quasiparticles in quantum materials give rise to intriguing phases and enable advanced technologies. ...
