Maria Furukawa, a Ph.D. candidate in the department of chemistry at the UNC-Chapel Hill, is developing liquid-crystal polymers that could transform the membranes used in hemodialysis, a life-saving treatment for patients with late-stage renal failure.
The Future Fuels and Breakthrough Batteries conference, hosted by UNC Chapel Hill’s Sustainable Energy Research Consortium (SERC), will take place on November 11-12, 2024, at the Friday Conference Center in Chapel Hill, NC. Session topics include Solar to Fuels, Electricity to Fuels, Ammonia and Bio-based Fuels, and Batteries.
The Pariser and Parr families established the annual Pariser-Parr Lecture to bring some of the most influential scientists in theoretical chemistry to UNC to give students and other early-career researchers an opportunity to learn about cuttingedge research in the field.
Researchers in the Department of Chemistry have introduced a new conjugated polymer, called POET-T2-COOH, that achieves electrical conductivities 100,000 times greater than comparable polymers, marking a leap forward in materials for electronics.
Science laboratories across disciplines are on the verge of a sweeping transformation as robotic automation and AI lead to faster and more precise experiments that unlock breakthroughs in fields like health, energy and electronics, according to UNC-Chapel Hill researchers

Herein, an approach for discriminating between tardigrade morphological states is developed and utilized to compare sucrose- and CaCl2-induced tuns, using the model species Hypsibius exemplaris.
Herein, we disclose a backbone rearrangement approach to tune the short-chain branching of polymers.
A new homoleptic Ru polypyridyl complex bearing two aldehyde groups on each bipyridine ligand, [Ru(dab)3](PF6)2, where dab is 4,4′-dicarbaldehyde-2,2′-bipyridine, was synthesized, characterized, and utilized for iodide photo-oxidation studies.
