Abstract: Electrocatalysis has the potential to enable sustainable chemical infrastructures via the generation of commodity chemicals such as hydrogen, hydrocarbons, and ammonia with renewable energy, but electrochemical devices such as electrolyzers often exhibit inadequate activity and stability for these transformations due to poor catalyst performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The Moreno-Hernandez Laboratory specializes […]

ECM Biophysics and Cancer: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapeutic Insights Microenvironmental changes contribute to the pathogenesis of cancer, but our understanding of how altered cell heterogeneity, extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, and mechanical cues impact the development, progression, and therapy response of cancer is relatively limited. More intricate models are needed to elucidate the complex biochemical and […]

Abstract: Reconfiguring, modulating and processing light at visible wavelengths typically requires complex and bulky table-top optics. High resolution optical applications such as optogenetic neural studies, fluorescence microscopy, and quantum information systems have a growing need for compact and efficient platforms that can control and readout large numbers of optical channels. However, in the visible wavelength […]
