Sara E. Skrabalak studies how to design and synthesize nanomaterials controlling the size, shape, and composition of tiny metal and alloy crystals (nanocrystals) so they perform useful functions. Much of the work focuses on gold and silver nanoparticles that interact strongly with light (plasmonic materials), high-entropy nanomaterials that mix many elements together, and catalysts for chemical and energy-related reactions. The research also develops advanced microscopy and optical methods to watch how individual nanoparticles form, grow, and change.

Publication activity has been high and fairly steady over the past decade, averaging around 17-20 papers per year with year-to-year fluctuation (recent 2025-2026 counts appear lower likely because those years are incomplete).
