Unregistered Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that discovers new phenomena from organic compounds that respond to light.
AboutAbout the lab
Discovering new phenomena from light-responsive molecules.
The Unregistered Lab studies organic compounds that respond to light.
The lab makes liquid crystals, polymers, hydrogen-bonded supramolecules, amphiphilic compounds, and more, and measures the properties of the resulting compounds.
By investigating the relationship between these properties and the molecular structure and the way molecules assemble, the lab works to discover new phenomena.
Assigned students gain experience in everything from organic synthesis and compound identification to optical measurements using lasers.
Key terms
- Liquid crystal
- A substance in a state between liquid and solid. Its molecules tend to align in a certain direction, giving it distinctive ways of transmitting light.
- Photorefractive effect
- A phenomenon in which the way light travels inside a material (its refractive index) changes when light is shone on it. In the lab, it is abbreviated as the PR effect.
- Organic synthesis
- A method of creating target molecules from carbon-containing compounds by combining chemical reactions.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to synthesize organic compounds that respond to light, measure their properties, and discover new phenomena. It works with photosensitive polymers and nonlinear optical effects, and currently focuses especially on the photorefractive effect.
