ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ

Hear from our resident glassblower, Steve Williams, whose craft has quietly shaped world-leading research over the last 30 years.

A team of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ researchers collaborated with Monash University to solve a puzzle that's stumped drug developers for decades…

ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ 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 ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ 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.

ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ Chemistry's Dr Alex Baker instrumental in forging a partnership between the University and the Royal Institution.

ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ 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.

Prof Remzi Becer has ensured that the University of ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ 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.

A recent article published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. shows how new algorithms for solving quantum-mechanical equations can be generated by randomly 'gluing together’ simpler function building blocks.

Researchers have identified previously unknown materials, including a new form of a widely studied clean-energy material, by carefully controlling and tracking how molecular precursors break down during heating.

The 2026 Research Celebration Awards opened this year’s Research Culture Week, recognising colleagues who help shape a collaborative, supportive and thriving research environment.
