Dalton research featured in C&E News coverstory

The research of Prof. Larry Dalton, B. Seymour Rabinovitch Endowed Chair in Chemistry, was recently featured as part of C&E News’ cover story highlighting the key research advances in chemistry over the last decade.  The article describes the advances the Dalton research group has made in designing devices that convert electrical data into optical information at high rates of speed (more than 110 gigahertz) under low drive voltages (less than 1 V). These types of devices have a wide variety of uses in fiber-optic and satellite communication systems and for optical-switching technology.
