José Rodriguez publishes 7th paper in Science
José A. Rodriguez, Prof. Campbell’s first Ph.D. student who now leads a large research group at Brookhaven National Lab, just published a paper in Science Magazine that describes a highly active new catalyst for the water-gas shift reaction (a key element in many current and proposed energy technologies). This is his 7th paper in Science, including 5 Research Articles and 2 Comments. That is an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations, José! We’re proud of you.

Former postdoc Kalle Ernst helped with 2016 Nobel Prize
Former group postdoc Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Ernst (nicknamed “Kalle”) helped contribute to this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry that went to Ben Feringa and others. Ernst is the other senior co-author on Feringa’s seminal paper “Electrically driven directional motion of a four-wheeled molecule on a metal surface” which was published Nov 2011 in Nature. Ernst and his group supplied the exceptional scanning tunneling microscope images of the motion of this “molecular car” shown in that report. Way to go, Kalle!! Ernst was interviewed about his contributions by media in Zurich, Switzerland where he now lives.
