Department News
A team of researchers in the Department of Chemistry has published a study in the Journal of the American Chemical Society that presents new insights into these mechanisms, specifically challenging conventional understanding of cation−π interactions—a key noncovalent force that has been central to our understanding of protein binding for the last 40 years.
The Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a Teaching Assistant Professor.
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
Fellowship is a distinct honor signifying recognition by one’s professional peers.
Research
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.
Here, we propose a model where the relaxation of polymer gels in the dilute regime originates from elementary events in which the bonds connecting two neighboring cross-linkers all disconnect.
