A Warwick-led publication entitled "Coordination-cage-templated multivalent glycan arrays: effects of mixed-glycan composition and chain length on lectin binding" has been chosen as ChemSci Pick of the Week.

Scientists have shown that a material treated for 40 years as a uniform, textbook superconductor is in fact a patchwork of different crystal structures throughout its bulk, using one of the latest 3D imaging techniques to see deep inside the crystal for the first time.

We are delighted to launch our new department history pages, creating a lasting record of the department's evolution from its earliest days to the present. The pages capture key milestones, achievements and memories, preserving the stories of the staff, students and alumni who have contributed to our success over the years.

We are excited to share that our Chemistry Department Awards Pages are now live, showcasing the exceptional accomplishments of Chemistry Department colleagues and students who have received prestigious awards and honours in recognition of their contributions and achievements.

Warwick Chemistry researchers have created a new material combining two properties, magnetism and electrical polarisation, that scientists have struggled to bring together for decades – and crucially, it works at close to room temperature.

Researchers from the University of Warwick and Monash University have discovered a way to potentially stop one of the world's most dangerous fungal pathogens in its tracks, not by killing it, but by tricking it into switching off its attack mode.

Warwick Chemists and spin-out company Verdel Instruments have successfully demonstrated two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2DMS) on a benchtop instrument, making this powerful technique practical and affordable for everyday laboratory use.

On Monday 20 July, the Department of Chemistry congratulated its 2026 cohort of graduating students! The cohort of BSc, MChem, MSc and PhD students enjoyed a departmental celebration with friends, family and staff members, before the graduation ceremony in which their degrees were conferred.

On occasion of Prof Peter Sadler’s 80th birthday a three-day symposium, "Metals of Life: Transforming Health, Energy, and Environment" was held at Warwick from 5th-7th July 2026.

The National Student Survey (NSS) 2026 results are in, and we are pleased that the Department of Chemistry has achieved an average positive score of 88.2%, representing an increase of more than five points on its 2025 result.

Hear from our resident glassblower, Steve Williams, whose craft has quietly shaped world-leading research over the last 30 years.
