ELECTRON SPIN

The humblest piece of modern tech might soon need a retirement plan. Transistors—those microscopic switches that control almost every electronic device—have ruled computing for decades. Every time you open an app or run a game, billions of these tiny gates flicker between on and off, representing th

Professor Christel Maria Marian's work has been a game-changer in the world of molecular science. Her focus on electron spin in molecular photochemical and photophysical processes has opened up new ways of understanding how molecules behave when they absorb light. This is not just some abstract theo
