A team of scientists has developed a new way to turn carbon dioxide into methanol, a valuable liquid fuel with high energy density and versatility.

The Eastman Chemical Company Fellowship program is an award bestowed to first year graduate students for their committed effort to enhance the departmental mission to create a diverse and inclusive community.

A new study sheds light onto how proteins recognize and bind to specific molecules

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.

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.

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.
