A Department of Chemistry study is shedding light on how a special class of materials called perovskites could help improve future optical technologies, from advanced sensors to telecommunications devices.

At a conference celebrated for scientific breakthroughs, graduate students are turning the spotlight onto the hidden risks faced by scientists.

Researchers report a new catalytic method that may finally make abundant chemicals compounds called alkyl chlorides far easier to use.

A textbook published by Andrey Dobrynin explains how polymers behave and why that behavior matters in real life.

Kevin Weeks, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at UNC-Chapel Hill, has been named a Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors.

Gary Pielak has received a Distinguished Scholar Fellowship from the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program that will fund a four-month research residency in Israel.

In March, stunning images hidden will move out of the lab and into the spotlight during the 2026 Art in Science Competition.

An unusual collaboration including veterinarians, marine mammal specialists and chemists is treating PCK, a group of eye diseases that affects the surface of the eye, with ocular implants..

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.
