Career
Weiss has co-authored over 180 research publications and United States patents. The Weiss Group has traditionally focused on understanding and controlling chemistry and materials at the smallest scales. They showed how atoms and molecules communicate through substrates on which they sit at greater than chemical distances.
They have exploited self-assembled monolayers as well-defined environments to isolate single molecules for measurements of electron transport, as a means to improve nanofabrication techniques, and as a way to isolate probe molecules on biospecific capture surfaces.
The group has now diversified to encompass projects that have wide-ranging impact in the field of nanoscience.
