Welcome to my personal blog “Chem & Resonance”
For me, learning to understand music follows the routine of learning about basic music theories, understanding the emotions embedded within pieces by composers, and eventually blending in personalized emotions within performances. This is a process in which I transform from passively accept interpretations to making my own interpretations.
Quantum Dots ✖ Maurice Ravel
When emission of light occurs in the field of chemistry, it is undoubtedly related to a release in energy in form of light. For most elements or materials, the energy between energy levels or bonds is highly fixed. In this case, only a certain wavelength of light will be emitted under varying conditions.
MXenes ✖ Mendelssohn
Picture yourself using a paper-thin device which will continually keep track of your heart rate, respiration, or muscular activities without ever making you uncomfortable. You wouldn’t even realize its presence on your body. It is this kind of technology where the wearable health sensors necessitate the use of materials which are very light and flexible, as well as highly conductive.
Fluorescence ✖ Ralph Williams
Many by-sea tourist attractions advertise their seas to be fluorescent. Indeed, at night, the wavefronts show breath-taking glows of blue fluorescence.
Perovskite ✖ Philip Glass
When you dig deep into the mechanism of solar panels, you may find it to be photoemission effect. When light beam hits the substance, it transfers energy to all particles within. It is known to all that atoms are comprised of nucleons (protons and neutrons) and surrounding electrons. The nucleons are so tightly bonded that energy given by normal sunlight isn’t capable of overcoming the inter-particle forces. Electrons are different, they are much further away from nucleus and
Liquid Crystals ✖ Elgar

Have you ever wondered how images appear on such small screens? 液晶屏电视机 Unlike classroom projectors, these devices do not rely on optical projection. Instead, they use liquid crystals—materials that exist in a unique state between li
