Teaching Fellow Dr Stephanie Smith has been honoured for her innovative teaching by the Cambridge University Students’ Union Student-Led Teaching Awards.

Congratulations to Silvia Vignolini on her promotion to Professor, and to Hugo Bronstein and Steven Lee on their promotions to Reader.

Professor Christopher Hunter has been awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry 2020 Supramolecular Chemistry Award for his pioneering work in the field.

Researchers here have shown that hydrogen can be made using garden plants and river water, leading to hopes the green energy source could be manufactured without using fossil fuels.

Researchers here have taken another small step forward towards commercially viable lithium metal batteries - and a large and exciting step forward in the understanding of these systems.

Professor Chris Abell has received the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2020 Interdisciplinary Prize for his pioneering work on fragment-based drug discovery and microfluidic microdroplets.

Professor Angelos Michaelides has been awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry 2020 Surfaces and Interfaces award for his outstanding contributions towards the understanding of complex aqueous interfaces and the formation of ice at such interfaces.

Researchers in the Centre for Atmospheric Science here have been helping scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) to test how ozone could speed up the cleaning of ambulances and potentially save lives.

Researchers here have found a way to design an antibody that can identify the toxic particles that destroy healthy brain cells - a potential advance in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers in the Goodman group have reduced the time it takes to analyse structures from eight hours to one minute.

Professor Tuomas Knowles and his colleagues are developing a new approach to help better understand the body’s defences against SARS-CoV-2, and ultimately support the development of reliable antibody tests and vaccines.

Researchers here have developed a potential weight loss drug and shown in mice that it may also avoid the harmful side effects of traditional treatments.

Researchers have revealed for the first time the surprising behaviour of toxic oligomers in the amyloid aggregation process involved in Alzheimer’s and other  diseases, thus opening up routes for new therapies against these dreaded killers.

The Department of Chemistry has delivered safety glasses and gloves to Addenbrooke's Hospital to support local NHS staff in the battle against COVID-19.
