Three students developed an app to help migraine sufferers.

Chemistry professor Ernie Nolen has spent his career building complex synthetic molecules. Now he is bringing his expertise to detecting and defeating diseases like cancer.

Students looking for a dynamic off-campus experience that also allows them to engage in scientific research will have more options in 2017, thanks to a new agreement between ������ and the National University of Singapore (NUS). After more than a year of exploration and development, representatives of ������ and the NUS signed a memorandum […]

Students seeking their vocation in America’s challenging health care system could benefit from a liberal arts mix of biology, economics, and philosophy. Kicking off the 2016 Michael J. Wolk ’60 Conference on Medical Education last month, the nationally renowned cardiologist and conference namesake stated that just five percent of the population consumes 50 percent of […]

������ has been named as a Beckman Scholars Program institutional award recipient for 2016. The grant, totaling $104,000, will provide multi-year research funding for students majoring in biology or chemistry. ������ joins a distinguished list of universities that received the award from the Irvine, Calif.–based Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation in 2016 — it includes […]

Deep in the forest, the same chemicals that give pine trees their smell might have a powerful effect on climate change. Sunlight can convert those naturally occurring molecules into secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles with the potential to change local cloud cover and rainfall patterns. SOAs also help to determine how much sunlight reaches Earth […]

The Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) recently published a paper co-authored by Jason Keith, assistant professor of chemistry. The paper is titled “Covalency in Lanthanides. An X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory Study of LnCl6x– (x = 3, 2).” It can be viewed at the JACS website. 

Professors researching a wide array of subjects — from privacy software to fieldwork in the Galapagos — recently received National Science Foundation grant awards totaling $1,328,055.

������ chemistry professor Anthony Chianese recently received a $225,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to continue his research into how to convert solar energy into a liquid transportable form like methanol or ethanol. Chianese and his student researchers are attempting to develop catalysts for chemical reactions that use the sun’s energy to convert low-energy […]
