New preprint alert! What if we go beyond Period 2? SWCNT defects have focused on carbon (aryl) and oxygen. But what about phosphorus from Period 3?
We introduce a simple strategy to engineer phosphorus defects in SWCNTs
Check out our preprint

Excited to share our new paper in @ACS_AMI! We show that NIR-fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes can serve as multiplexed reporters of trigger-induced peptide self-assembly, revealing pathway-dependent dynamics. @ACSPublications

📢How many sensors do you really need for reliable chemical fingerprinting?
In our new work with @sycho_lab, we introduce a transparent framework that selects minimal sensor subsets from small screening datasets while preserving classification accuracy.
