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 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.

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.
