We all love things that glow in the dark and a night time celebration isn’t complete without glow sticks, but have you ever wondered how they work? What exactly happens to make light appear when you bend the glow stick and hear that crack. Learn about chemiluminescence and the chemistry behind glow sticks!
What makes a particular material efficient at converting sunlight to electrical or chemical energy? Conversely, what makes a material a poor energy converter? The Grimmgroup is motivated by quantifying and controlling the bulk and surface properties of solar energy conversion materials. As a research group in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, we seek an atom- and bond-level understanding of material properties. Learn more.
