New materials will enable novel technologies to turn sunlight into electricity and fuels. Combinations of molecules and tiny nanoparticles make these materials a reality. Scientists have found a way to track electrons along their round trip from the molecules to the nanoparticles and back, helping to find where electrons can travel and where they get stuck, information that is crucial to finding better combinations for innovative materials.

In conducting its research mission, the skilled and resourceful scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility generate ideas and technologies that have the potential to solve real-world problems. Now, with the establishment of its new Research and Technology Partnerships Office, the lab is expanding its capabilities to put the lab’s scientific and technological advances to work to the benefit of society. The Research and Technology Partnerships Office will ensure that intellectual property opportunities generated in support of the lab’s research mission receive the focus, support and outreach they need to reach the marketplace. She will also initiate and lead new programs related to the lab’s mission.
