Invited Talk (AIMR-INSPIRE):
Prof. Haw Yang (Department of Chemistry, Princeton University)
"Nanoparticle Artificial Molecules, Plasmon-Coupled Spectroscopy, and Unwonted Dynamics"
2026 January 5 (Mon.) 14:00-15:00, AIMR 2F Seminar Room

The nanoscale—the size range between molecules and bacteria that remains a challenge for quantitative characterization—is rich in structural and functional phenomena. This seminar outlines recent advances from the Princeton complex-system dynamics lab addressing these challenges. We discuss how DNA-valency sorting creates "artificial atoms," advancing the concept of "artificial molecule chemistry."
