Research stories
Discover the cutting-edge research carried out in the School.
- Research story
Electrochemical cleavage was shown to proceed for free alkoxyamines in solution, and for alkoxyamines tethered to a silicon electrode, the latter providing a strategy for in situ generation of surface-tethered nitroxides or surface-tethered carbocations.
- Research story
hese findings will help to design advanced photoresists in which distinct material properties are encoded with different colours of light in 3D laser lithography.
- Research story
A new form - referred to as akamptisomerism - has been described through four resolved stereoisomers of a transoid (BF)O(BF)- quinoxalinoporphyrin compound.
- Research story
A new super-dielectric material with widespread potential energy storage applications has recently been developed in the Liu and Withers groups at RSC. The work is reported in a paper published in Nature Materials.
- Research story
Scientists have used computer modelling to reveal the complex chemistry behind one of nature’s best kept secrets—the chemical sparkplug that plants use to make energy.
- Academic profile
Meet Dr Megan O'Mara, who is the Rita Cornforth Fellow at the Research School of Chemistry.
- Research story
Chemists have developed a revolutionary new way to manufacture natural chemicals and used it to assemble a scarce anti-inflammatory drug with potential to treat cancer and malaria.
- Research story
A new material that can store large amounts of energy with very little energy loss has been developed by researchers at ANU.
