Yang delivered an invited talk at the esteemed Photothermal Microscopy and Spectroscopy Webinar series. to Subhasis Adhikari, Andrea Kramer, Frank Cichos, and Michel Orrit for extending this invitation and for their exceptional work in organizing this insightful seminar series.

Check out the “Photothermal Microscopy and Spectroscopy Webinar” organized by the University of Leipzig, Germany, and the University of Leiden, the Netherlands. There are many interesting talks!

Yang presented an invited talk on our recent research on “Nanophotonic Force Nanoscopy for Ultrafast Dynamic Imaging of Nanostructures”. Thank you to the EL 08 organizers for the invitation!

I am thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper, ‘Visualizing ultrafast photothermal dynamics with decoupled optical force nanoscopy‘, in Nature Communications! A big shout-out and congratulations to all the authors, and heartfelt thanks to Prof. Catherine Murphy’s and Prof. Yun-Sheng Chen’s teams for their amazing collaboration in making this happen.
