Recent research has revealed a new way to manufacture nature-inspired structural colour continuously and at room temperature, opening the possibility of producing vibrant, never-fading colour on films kilometres long.
Researchers develop new molecules to target cold tumours
Researchers in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and the University of Basel have developed small molecules that could make cancer immunotherapies more effective against tumours that are typically difficult to treat.
Rebuilding amines: Cambridge chemists develop a new way to remodel molecular structures
Chemists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to remodel amines – important chemical structures found in many medicines and biologically active molecules – by changing the connections between their atoms.

A new study led by Dr Vijay Ganesh Sadhasivam, recently published in Physical Review Letters, has revealed that quantum information can spread extremely quickly even in simple systems that are not chaotic, challenging a long-standing idea about how information moves through the quantum world.
Honouring the past, inspiring the future: new laboratories open at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry
A major gift from our benefactor, Dr Yusuf Hamied FRS Hon FRSC Hon ScD, has enabled us to transform two research laboratories at the Department of Chemistry, creating exceptional spaces for scientific discovery while honouring two outstanding colleagues.
Researchers create new method to engineer stable antibody linkers
Dr Sona Krajcovicova and colleagues have developed an improved and more scalable method for producing specialised chemical linkers that enable antibodies to be engineered as precise delivery vehicles. The method, recently published in Nature Protocols, could support the development of more consistent and controlled medicines.
PhD Research Challenges Long-Standing Assumptions on Tyre Wear Emissions
Research by Siriel Saladin, a researcher within the Aerosol Science CDT, has been featured in a CDT case study, highlighting his work challenging a widely accepted assumption in air pollution science.
