Gabrielle West, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina, recently received a certificate of merit from the Environmental division at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2025 conference in Washington, D.C.

Stephen Betz is celebrating one of the most meaningful moments of his career—the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of Palsonify, or paltusotine, the first once-daily, oral treatment for adults with acromegaly.

Gigi Holliday focuses on the tiny interface where electrodes, which are the conductive surfaces that move electric charge, meet catalysts, which are the molecules that facilitate lower-energy barrier chemical reactions.

A team of researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill has found two new ways to reshape fluorinated molecules using mild, selective chemistry that avoids harsh conditions.

We’re excited to share the latest issue of Elements of Research, our seasonal research article collection from the UNC Chemistry Department!

Katelyn Kitzinger and a team of UNC researchers in chemistry and medicine explored an unexpected question: Could doctors make their own anesthetic in the field using simple materials?

The Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invites applications for a Teaching Assistant Professor.

Sarah Rehm, a chemistry major, is studying how pollution from a group of toxic compounds known as PFAS, or forever chemicals, is affecting pets and wildlife..

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.
