Dr Fei Liu - "Proton Transfer Organised Chirality Expansion" »
Chirality is prevalent in nature, manifesting in particles, molecules, and complex systems. While chirality of a singular structure can be readily characterised, population chirality from diverse structural collectives is difficult to interpret but important for understanding systems energy logic.
Associate Professor Colette Boskovic - Inorganic Molecular Materials: Functional Metal Complexes »
Molecular materials with physical properties that can be controlled by external parameters, such as temperature, light or magnetic field are important synthetic targets because they form the basis of molecular devices.
Conversations across the Creek: Bushfire Summer »
Conversations Across the Creek is an initiative of the Humanities Research Centre and the Research School of Chemistry.
Dr Madeleine Schultz - "Helping students succeed in chemistry – prior knowledge, engagement and the impact of moving online" »
Signposts of teaching expertise have been mapped through workshops and interviews with expert chemistry teachers.
ANU ChemSoc Public Lecture - Dr. Tristan Reekie »
Title: If I Don’t Talk to you About Drugs, Who Will? Speaker: Dr. Tristan Reekie
Dr Victoria Blair - "Expanding the Organometallic Tool box for small molecule functionalisation" »
Organometallic chemistry, encompassing compounds with direct C-M and N-M bonds, remains one of the core synthetic pillars for the development and synthesis of new metal-organic and bio-active molecules.
Dr Christoph Nitsche - "Targeting viral ptoteases with modified peptides" »
Viral infectious diseases are a serious global health threat. For many viruses, safe vaccines and specific antiviral treatments are yet unavailable.
Conversations across the Creek: Pill Testing »
Pill testing, or drug checking, is a medically supervised intervention focused on providing reliable and non-discriminatory information to people who intend to use drugs.
Professor Cather Simpson - "Making Light Work: From Light-Matter States to Sperm Sorting" »
Light is one of nature’s mechanisms for carrying energy and information from one place to another.
Associate Professor Jane Allison - "Peppy: A virtual reality environment for exploring the principles of polypeptide structure" »
Science students are traditionally taught protein structure and function through textbook pictures and/or physical model building.
