Chemistry
New facility will support research and teaching in fields including analytical spectroscopy, environmental chemistry, computational mathematics and the statistical sciences.
The recently completed project increases the number of labs from 12 to 14 and includes a multitude of modernization and safety improvements.
Fellowships provide $75,000 in funding for early-career researchers in fields including chemistry, physics, neuroscience and mathematics.
In May, campus leaders signed the Green Chemistry Commitment to practice and teach sustainable chemistry—an effort being encouraged and advanced by students.
In research recently published in Science, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder scientists detail how light—rather than energy-intensive heat—can efficiently and sustainably catalyze chemical transformations.
Light-powered reactions could make the chemical manufacturing industry more energy-efficient.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder chemist Niels Damrauer and his research colleagues use visible light to break environmentally persistent carbon-fluorine bonds in PFAS.
We developed a way to use light to dismantle PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ – long-lasting environmental pollutants.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder chemist will use the five-year support to study tailoring cycles affecting energy flow in solar energy conversion.
In newly published study, Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder chemist Wei Zhang details a new porous material that is less expensive and more sustainable.
