UNC Chapel Hill graduate student Charlotte Montgomery investigates how molecular catalysts precisely move protons and electrons to drive chemical reactions and produce alternative fuels.

The researchers' experiments found that increasing the hydrophobic component of their polymer improved its ability to extract lanthanides and that the polymer showed metal selectivity.

An Environmental Pollution study reveals how two key components of biomass smoke—levoglucosan and 4-nitrocatechol—affect human lung cells.

An ACS Earth and Space Chemistry study revealed that sulfur existed in the early atmospheres in multiple oxidation states.

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.
