Laboratory for Nanoscale Spectroscopic Imaging at Rice

To have a vision, one first must see. We bring together experimental and theoretical physical chemists whose expertise is in ‘looking’ at nanoscale interfaces in order to overcome one of the most difficult challenges in chemistry: to measure and model interfacial structure and dynamics in situ, where proteins, water, ions, and energy exchange outside equilibrium descriptions.
