Our interdisciplinary school is leading scientific exploration and engineering expertise in sustainability solutions, biomedical innovation and advanced materials. We address crucial issues like ...

Product safety, measuring the health effects of exposure to chemicals and chemical contaminants in food.

However, the site-specific chemical modification of biomolecules within their native settings remains a formidable challenge. Here we summarize the development of bioorthogonal chemical reporters ...

Chemical engineers are problem solvers - they bring new medicines to market, develop alternative fuels, keep food manufacturing safe, and create new manufacturing materials. They move small-scale ...

There’s been a lot of chatter recently about microplastics and “forever chemicals” in everyday products. Now, the conversation has turned to what's in your tap water. Some drinking water contains per- ...

PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," are chemicals that have been used in the production of consumer products since the 1940s and 1950s. They can cause potential health risks, including ...

A new study has found that US communities exposed to drinking water contaminated with 'forever chemicals' have up to 33 percent higher rates of certain cancers. These chemicals were first used in ...

In France, drinking water contamination by "forever chemicals" (PFAS, for per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances) is reaching unsuspected levels. Two separate measurement campaigns, made public o ...

In the quest to take the "forever" out of "forever chemicals," bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them ...

Industrial applications such as plastics and electronics production account for most PFAS use, according to data from Nordic countries' chemicals agencies, opens new tab. Research linking PFAS ...

Sustainability and climate change should be included in the way chemistry is taught - so we brought key stakeholders to discuss what the best way to do that looks like. Dr Siân Fussell, Dr Layla ...
