º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemistry researchers have created a new material combining two properties, magnetism and electrical polarisation, that scientists have struggled to bring together for decades – and crucially, it works at close to room temperature.

Researchers from the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø and Monash University have discovered a way to potentially stop one of the world's most dangerous fungal pathogens in its tracks, not by killing it, but by tricking it into switching off its attack mode.

º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemists and spin-out company Verdel Instruments have successfully demonstrated two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2DMS) on a benchtop instrument, making this powerful technique practical and affordable for everyday laboratory use.

On occasion of Prof Peter Sadler’s 80th birthday a three-day symposium, "Metals of Life: Transforming Health, Energy, and Environment" was held at º£½ÇÉçÇø from 5th-7th July 2026.

The National Student Survey (NSS) 2026 results are in, and we are pleased that the Department of Chemistry has achieved an average positive score of 88.2%, representing an increase of more than five points on its 2025 result.

º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemistry has been named the top university in the Midlands and ranked 9th in the UK in the Complete University Guide 2027, rising five places from last year.

We are delighted to announce that º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemistry graduates, Dr Emily Brogden and Ben Tragheim, and WEIG Research Fellow, Dr Joshua Tully, have received Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine faculty prizes for research excellence.

º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemistry's Dr Alex Baker instrumental in forging a partnership between the University and the Royal Institution.

º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemistry is seeking to support talented candidates for the Royal Society University Fellowship Scheme 2027Link opens in a new window.

A recent collaborative study published in Nature Communications showcases advances in nanoscale science through the creation of atomically precise molecular chains, offering new routes towards tailor made electronic and quantum materials.

Professor Paul Monks CB is currently the Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA) for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). Paul did his undergraduate degree in chemistry at º£½ÇÉçÇø before going to Oxford for his D.Phil.

Prof Remzi Becer has ensured that the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø is a major beneficiary partner in two new EU Horizon Doctoral Networks, set to train the next generation of polymer scientists while addressing two pressing challenges facing modern society: food insecurity and the transition to sustainable transport.
