Each year, scientists with the Office of Science, at our national laboratories, and supported by the Office of Science at the nation’s colleges and universities, publish thousands of research findings in the scientific literature. About 200 of these are selected annually by their respective program areas in the Office of Science as publication highlights of special note.

Visible light can control emissive or absorptive signals by influencing the relative populations of unpaired electron spin states (red dots on blue lines) in a population of molecules.
Molecular design and light can control electron spin, resulting in fast orientation of the spin direction relative to an applied magnetic field.
