UNC chemists introduced a novel principle: thermal-kinetic frustration, which allows a molecule to behave like a tiny, programmable computer.

A CHASE-supported UNC study represents a significant step forward in designing more efficient carbon dioxide reduction systems.

In a pioneering approach to cancer treatment, a North Carolina startup—dGenThera—has developed a targeted radiotherapeutic based on astatine-211, an alpha-emitting isotope.

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.
