SCS Science Image Challenge winners and finalists announced
This winning image submitted by chemistry postdoctoral researcher Xiaolin Liu is titled "Rose in the flask" and shows a rose-like hue and pattern that formed at the bottom of a flask as dichloromethane solvent evaporated from an aromatic compound sample.
A Big Ten Network documentary details the 2020 journey of researchers from various disciplines across the University of Illinois campus, including the Department of Chemistry, to create a fast and inexpensive COVID-19 test to ensure that students, faculty and staff could remain safe and healthy during the pandemic.
The two chemistry emeritus professors were among a trio of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign faculty members elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors a scientist can receive.
Through the Kimberly-Clark Right Cycle Program, teaching labs and some research labs in the Department of Chemistry diverted 1.03 tons or 2,278 pounds of PPE waste in 2023, earning the department a 2024 Greenovation Award.
Alcorn is now a postdoctoral researcher in the Materials Physics Division of Sandia National Labs and recently returned to the Illinois campus to receive the Klemperer Award and present his dissertation research.
The AAAS selected Prof. Landes “for the development of next-generation tools and models to image and understand dynamics governing separations at soft interfaces at the single analyte limit.”
In a collaboration between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Rice University, a team of researchers has combined mathematical tools from black hole physics and chemical physics and demonstrated that quantum information scrambling takes place in chemical reactions and can nearly reach...
Professor Andrew A. Gewirth received his AB from Princeton University in 1981 and his PhD from Stanford University in 1987. He joined the Illinois faculty in 1988 after postdoctoral work at the University of Texas, Austin. Research in his group focuses on the structure and reactivity of surfaces and interfaces.
