📢 MOFs pioneers receive The @nobelprize.bsky.social in chemistry!

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of our favourite materials at @smslab.bsky.social . These systems show extremely versatile properties that we use to play with photons. 🧵

This is an important milestone to achieve stable narrowband photodetectors by photonics. Our purely optical strategy enables narrow spectral response in ranges previously only achieved through halide mixing, allowing us to avoid instability promoted by halide segregation.

📢📢New publication! We demonstrate a narrowband perovskite photodetector with tunable spectral response, controlled via film thickness and light incidence angle. Now online at @pubs.acs.org. Great collaboration with StranksLab group @samstranks.bsky.social. More details: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
