Three key ideas for organic photonics and electronics

• Electronic correlations can significantly modify the relative energy of excited electronic states, especially near transition states.
• Due to conical intersections between potential energy surfaces non-adiabatic processes can lead to ultrafast internal conversion (transitions between different electronic states).
• The environment has a significant effect on the rate of transitions between quantum states.

The role of superconductivity in development of the Standard Model

In 1986, Steven Weinberg published an article,  Superconductivity for Particular Theorists , in which he stated "No one did more than N...
