The Ginger Research Group at the University of Washington pioneers techniques such as time-resolved electrostatic force microscopy (trEFM) and photoconductive atomic force microscopy (pcAFM) to study nanostructured solar cells, energy efficient light-emitting diodes, and biosensors.

April 2012: Brad MacLeod's paper on built-in potentials in SAM-modified organic diodes appears online in J. Phys. Chem. Lett., while Yunqi Yan's paper on photoswitchable oligonucleotide-modified gold nanoparticles and optical hybridzation stringency appears in Nano Letters. Meanwhile, Yunqi passes her 2nd year exam with no conditions, contiuing our perfect streak!19 Apr 2012 9:40 am
