Researchers have developed a promising method to make radiotracers faster, more efficiently and with less waste.
In a pioneering approach to cancer treatment, a North Carolina startup—dGenThera—has developed a targeted radiotherapeutic based on astatine-211, an alpha-emitting isotope.
Arthur Palmer discussed how proteins shift their shapes and why that matters for their function as part of a Biochemistry & Biophysics seminar series.
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.
Alex Zhukhovitskiy, William R. Kenan Jr. Fellow and an assistant professor of chemistry, has been awarded a 2025 Sloan Research Fellowship, among the most prestigious awards given to early-career scientists.
A study explored how the diffusion of star-like and chain-like polymers depends on the pH and salt concentration of the solution.
Researchers shed light on how Pseudomonas syringae, a common bacterial pathogen responsible for diseases in crops across the globe, uses a chemical signal to bolster its virulence and survival.
At the heart of the research lies the phase state of organic aerosols, which can range from liquid to semisolid to glassy. This state determines their viscosity, a property that directly impacts their ability to nucleate ice.
UNC-Chapel Hill Chemistry major Tarynn Neal designed her own research experience — and discovered an energy-efficient solution to an industrial-scale problem.
