Matt Fuchter's @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social research group has for the first time discovered an approach to electrically switch organic LEDs (OLEDs) to emit either left- or right-handed circularly polarized light without changing the light-emitting molecules. https://ow.ly/urf150XGiyk

Nice write up of our work by @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social www.chem.ox.ac.uk/article/chem... #Chemsky #Matsky #Physics

New research from Chemistry Fellow @fuchtermatt.bsky.social! 👏

Our paper on the electrical control of circularly polarized electroluminescence in OLEDs is out now in @natphoton.nature.com. Special congratulations to Francesco, Jess and Nicola. #ChemSky, #MatSky, #Physics www.nature.com/articles/s41... @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @spcoxford.bsky.social

Congrats to Brandon & Kai on their new paper in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social where they show how azobenzene/triptycene-based chiral dopants tune the photophysical properties of liquid crystals. In addition to the structure property insight 1/2 bit.ly/3JT9Ljo #NSFFunded #chemsky #molswitch

Our new article on Faraday rotation in chiral supramolecular polymer assemblies is finally published! Check it out!

Our Faraday paper is now published in all its glory! www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Chemsky #Physics @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @spcoxford.bsky.social

New in Chemical Science! "Aryl azopyrroles as visible light photoswitchable TRPA1 ligands" by Pui-Ying Lam (Medical College of Wisconsin) and Matthew Fuchter (Imperial College London, Oxford University) et al. @fuchtermatt.bsky.social Read it here: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Check out our latest photopharmacology paper in @chemicalscience.rsc.org. We discover azopyrroles can be powerful tools to control movement phenotypes via TRPA1. @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social @spcoxford.bsky.social pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A... #ChemSky

Spring has sprung in Oxford! 😍

#ACSSpring2025 was ace! Until the next time you stay classy San Diego

@gracegdhan.bsky.social smashing it, as always, during her award lecture at #ACSSpring2025

Which is the best symposium at #ACSSpring2025? Light-Matter Interactions in Molecular Systems and Emerging Semiconductors! Come along to the amazing lineup put together by @feldmannlab.bsky.social, @dcongreve.bsky.social and Lea Nienhaus

Sunday 8:00 #ACSSpring2025 meeting in room 32B. Amar Flood @floodgroup.bsky.social and I will both be talking about our super bright #fluorescent SMILES materials. Including recent work in #ChemSci (doi.org/10.1039/D3SC...) #nanoparticles and in #AngewandteChemie (doi.org/10.1002/anie...) on #CPL.

The Glen T Seaborg medal award symposium and dinner at UCLA, honouring posthumously Sir Fraser Stoddart, was excellent. So many great talks and touching memories. And look @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social, I bumped into our new #Chemsky colleagues

I should also shout out Davia Prischich from my group who delivered a wonderful #photopharma #ChemBio talk on her photoswitchable peptide work.

It was wonderful to be back in Hong Kong to present at the LSCCB’s conference. Now off to Cali to see some of my fav #Chemsky folks including @conway-group.bsky.social, @feldmannlab.bsky.social, @floodgroup.bsky.social, @gracegdhan.bsky.social and @swagergroup.bsky.social

Our preprint on the Faraday rotation of chiral organic polymer films is out! Wonderful collaboration with Tim Swager and his group @mitchemistry.bsky.social and Jess Wade. @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social. #Chemsky 🧪 #Physics doi.org/10.26434/che... We learnt a lot in this one, so here's a short 🧵 1/11

I had the pleasure of interacting a number of times with Fraser over the years. He was always so supportive. What an incredible #Chemsky loss! RIP

I’ve clearly been a good boy this year.

Merry Christmas #ChemSky from the Goldup Group! Let the mince pie eating contest commence!!! (and yes, this as close to posting *that video* as I will ever get) 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

I reckon this one of the Emperors outside the Sheldonian in Oxford has a Santa vibe. Happy Christmas everyone! (Shockingly, no AI was used in the generation of this image 😅)

Happy Christmas everyone!

Introducing a new class of potent opioid analgesics that remain in the periphery (hence no respiratory depression) and can be locally activated with light (hence no constipation). Great collab with Seva Katritch, Cornelius Gati, and Josh Levitz. biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Image

Very grateful for 2025 Marion Milligan Mason Award 🌟 by @aaas.bsky.social Congrats to all fantastic recipients Jessica Lamb @ewerpointe.bsky.social Erin Stache @stache-lab.bsky.social Michelle Calabrese! www.aaas.org/news/four-ch...

Happy Christmas from the Fuchter group! Secret Santa, scavenger hunt, and Xmas supper. 🎅🎄 @hamishtrowell.bsky.social @louisminion.bsky.social @davidreger.bsky.social and more!

Wonderful to be at the Royal Society tonight to celebrate the amazing Jess Wade and her Rosalind Franklin Award. So incredibly well deserved. Read more about her award and lecture here: royalsociety.org/science-even... #Chemsky #Physics 🧪 (I’m nagging her to join Bluesky!)

What do you think of these Christmas lights in Oxford @drmikebooth.bsky.social? I feel you might have an opinion….

Part 2: We’re in! 🎉
