Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed very significantly since they were last reviewed by committees of the U.S. National Research Council. They have broadened their scope—into biology, ...

Hermans focuses on finding cleaner, faster industrial practices that reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing and ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago and partner institutions have developed molecular qubits compatible with standard telecommunications networks—a key step toward a future “quantum internet.” The ...

High-performance and low-cost oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts are essential for the next generation of energy conversion devices, such as zinc-air batteries and fuel cells. While ...

Converting carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons could become a cleaner alternative to producing fossil fuels. Now, a team of researchers in China has envisioned a strategy using “molecular fences” to trap ...

Plans for a new science and molecular engineering building on the corner of East 56th Street and S. Ellis Avenue have been scaled down due to the University’s budget deficit and uncertainty ...
