Chemist Pedro de Jesús Cruz’s recent study aims to solve an issue that frequently arises in the manufacturing of chemicals on a commercial scale: how to create and isolate a desired product without resulting in an abundance of difficult-to-dispose-of byproducts.
Junior Aakanksha Gundu has made research an integral part of her undergraduate experience and encourages others who are interested to do the same.
With her research, intergovernmental work and TED Talks, Angel Hsu is making a difference in climate change by combining science and policy.
Carolina chemists may have a solution to the country’s plastic problem by “upcycling” plastic trash to tougher, stronger material.
More than a dozen of Tar Heels are working to bring the wonders of science to children in the community through the graduate student-run organization Science in the Stacks.
Chemists at UNC-Chapel Hill and UC Davis discover the microbial process that turns a metal into an antibiotic.
Regional participation in the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL) helps bring jobs to the area and strengthens the research-to-market pipeline.
Plant cells self-destruct to survive. After detecting a pathogen, they set off a chain reaction that ultimately destroys them, preventing disease from spreading. Now, scientists, led by UNC biologist Jeff Dangl, have discovered the mechanism behind this self-destruction.
Morehead Planetarium and Science Center is hosting UNC Science Week — an entire week of virtual events to celebrate the amazing and important STEM research at Carolina — from April 11-17 as part of the annual North Carolina Science Festival.
