Mohammed:</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">
Selectively capturing the ultrafast dynamics of charge carriers on materials surfaces and at interfaces is crucial to the design of solar cells and optoelectronic devices. Despite extensive research efforts over the past few decades, information and understanding
about surface-dynamical processes remains extremely limited. A key challenge is to selectively map such dynamic processes, a capability that is hitherto impractical by time-resolved laser techniques, which are limited by the laser’s relatively large penetration
depth and consequently they record mainly bulk information. Such surface dynamics can now be mapped in real space and time by applying four-dimensional (4D) scanning ultrafast electron microscopy (S-UEM),</span><sup><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;">[1,2]</span></sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> which
records snapshots of materials surfaces with nanometer spatial and sub-picosecond temporal resolutions. In several unique applications, we spatially and temporally visualize the SE energy gain and loss, the charge carrier dynamics on the surface of InGaN nanowires
and CdSe single crystals.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;">Osman M. Bakr:</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;"> Low temperature solution-grown hybrid perovskite
single crystals exhibit low trap density, a large non-linear optical absorption-cross-section, low intrinsic carrier concentration, high mobility, and long diffusion length for photogenerated charge carriers– outperforming perovskite-based polycrystalline
disordered thin films and even putting them on par with optoelectronic grade III-V semiconductors.<sup>[3,4]</sup> These impressive characteristics make perovskites an ideal choice for realizing highly efficient photovoltaics, fast and sensitive photodetectors,
as well as a wide array of linear and non-linear applications. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;">Kuo-Wei Huang:</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: black;"> Pincer transition metal complexes have versatile
reactivities to catalyze many organic transformations and to activate strong chemical bonds. In particular, complexes with ligand derived from tridentate pyridine-based framework exhibit interesting reactivities. It has been demonstrated that unique bond activation
reactions can be achieved through aromatization–dearomatization of the central pyridine ring. We have designed and prepared a series of transition metal catalysts based on a novel class of pincer-type PN<sup>3</sup> ligands which are capable of interacting
with the substrates during the reaction. This “metal-ligand cooperative catalysis“ model offers unprecedented reactivities. Dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines was achieved via protonation-deprotonation in the aromatization-dearomatization process.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
