A new light-driven method dramatically simplifies and accelerates the synthesis of stemoamide alkaloids, a class of bioactive compounds found in plants.

In their study, the UNC team focused on just one kind of protein called GB1, a small, well-studied globular protein often used as a model.

Haley Jostes' proposal is setting the stage for future studies on how these plastics might affect human health.

Ph.D. chemistry candidate Kara Joseph has won the 2025 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

A UNC study revealed that each application of floor wax brought a new burst of toxic emissions.

Emily Crawford is pioneering a multidimensional approach to quantify antidepressants in North Carolina’s waterways.

Chemists in the Johnson Lab convert chemicals from petroleum waste into compounds for study as anesthetics and antidepressants.

UNC chemists have developed a faster, more flexible way to build an important class of molecules used in many prescription drugs.

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.
