Researchers at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research reveal how electric fields transform water chemistry, enhancing reaction rates and rearranging molecular structures at the atomic level.
Professor Alex Forse has been awarded a 2025 Philip Leverhulme Prize, recognising the outstanding work of the Forse Group in developing innovative materials to tackle climate change.
Researchers at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, Cambridge, have made a major breakthrough in the fight against climate change published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

For the first time, scientists have directly visualised and measured the tiny protein clusters, called alpha-synuclein oligomers, thought to trigger Parkinson’s disease in human brain tissue.
