Developing atomistic understanding through simulations is essential to advance this class of measurements into a highly discriminating multidimensional single-molecule spectroscopy.<\/p>\n<p>The award will enable Franco to present his work at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Washington, D.C., this fall.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a
