Our world faces climate, economic, and sustainability challenges that we don’t yet have the tools to fix. The film “Driving Reactions” explores how directed ...

Chirality, a property where structures have a distinct left- or right-handedness, allows natural semiconductors to move charge and convert energy with high efficiency by controlling electron spin and the angular momentum of light. A new study has revealed that many conjugated polymers, long considered structurally neutral, can spontaneously twist into chiral shapes. This surprising behavior, overlooked for decades, could pave the way for development of a new class of energy-efficient electronics inspired by nature.

University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new tool that makes greener chemistry more accessible.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – New research into antimicrobial peptides, small chains of amino acids able to damage bacterial cells, shows why some peptides are more effective at doing that and also why some cells are more vulnerable. The findings open the door to designing novel compounds for killing disease-causing organisms that have become resistant to antibiotics. These compounds would represent a major breakthrough against a pervasive global problem, said study co-leader Myriam Cotten of Oregon State University.

University of Michigan researchers have developed a tool powered by artificial intelligence that can help them examine the behavior of a single molecule out of a sea of information in the blink of an eye—or at least overnight.

Microbes can power up our world, making sustainable fertilizers, repairing concrete structures, creating vaccines, and so much more! But to complete these qu...

A Q&A with the professor of chemical engineering, bioengineering, and biophysics who studies soft, pliable materials, how environmental factors affect them, and vice versa

Stephen Fried is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry working on misfolded proteins, which are prevalent in many degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and cystic fibrosis. He seeks to understand how proteins misfold to cause these pathologies and eventually develop treatments and cures for them.
