Are you a current or prospective postdoc interested in applying for a research fellowship to be held here? If so, the next deadline for submitting an expression of interest is 30 June 2021.

A widely-used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an 'artificial leaf' that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, researchers here have successfully demonstrated.

Dr Silvia Vignolini has been awarded a prestigious Philip Leverhulme prize for her research into bio-inspired optical materials.

Final-year chemist Shadab Ahmed has been featured in This Cambridge Life for his role as the Cambridge University Student Union Access and Funding Officer. 

"I am delighted the Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded this year to three exceptional battery scientists," says our colleague Professor Clare Grey.

Congratulations to Aaron Trowbridge, a recent graduate student of ours, who was named this week as a winner of the prestigious Reaxys PhD Prize 2019 for the research he conducted here.

We are welcoming two alumni – Alex Forse and Alex Thom – who have just become members of our academic staff.

Meet PhD student Haydn Francis. He is just starting the second year of his research project here into new technologies that could slow the degradation of electric vehicle batteries.

Chemists consumed coffee and cake today as part of The World's Biggest Coffee Morning, raising £348 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Heartfelt tributes are being paid to our distinguished colleague Professor Sir Christopher Dobson – a pioneering researcher in the chemistry of neurodegenerative diseases – who died on Sunday, 8 September 2019. 

Researchers have designed a machine learning algorithm that predicts the outcome of chemical reactions with much higher accuracy than trained chemists and suggests ways to make complex molecules, removing a significant hurdle in drug discovery.

Are you coming to this year's Chemistry Networks – our annual networking and showcase event in September where we bring together scientists from academia and industry? This year, it focuses on AI and machine learning.

67 UK students from under-represented backgrounds who did not originally get into Cambridge will now be coming here to study courses including Natural Sciences after achieving stunning A-level results.

Many questions – on women-only prizes, the role of job sharing in academic research and how to overcome imposter syndrome – arose at our 2019 Women in Chemistry alumni event, as you can see on our new video.

Two alumni of this department have just had their portraits painted as part of Viewing the Invisible - a BBSRC-funded project bringing scientists together with artists to explore the similarities in their working methods.
