Through the design of new optical materials and microscopies, we observe physical, chemical and biological processes as they unfold with nanometer scale resolution. We then use these observations to improve energy-relevant processes (such as photocatalysis and energy storage); medical diagnostics and therapeutics; and classical and quantum computing.
