Professor Stefan Bon has been honoured by McMaster University with the prestigious Les Shemilt Lectureship for his achievements in chemical engineering.

University of Warwick, ZARM and Georgia Tech have hit upon a breakthrough in space life support systems thanks to the magnetic properties of water.

The Universities of Warwick and Birmingham opened the first of their respective 1.2 GHz NMR facilities at Warwick, the result of a £23M investment from UKRI that solidifies the West Midlands as a powerhouse for NMR spectroscopy.

Ultrasmall CeO₂ with exceptional surface area and atom economy can be just as useful (if not better!) in photocatalytic processes than larger nanoparticles.

In a new study, Fredrik Schaufelberger and his team from the University of Warwick and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have shown that mechanically interlocked molecules can be used to induce this lanthanide luminescence.

Professor Peter Sadler, from the University of Warwick (UK), is honoured with the 2025 Blaise Pascal Medal in Chemistry for his pioneering contributions to the field of bioinorganic chemistry and his lifelong dedication to advancing metal-based therapeutics.

The Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship (DHF) programmeLink opens in a new window aims to support outstanding early career scientists who require a flexible working pattern due to personal circumstances, such as caring responsibilities and/or health-related conditions.

Today we are celebrating our 2025 RSC Prize Winners! Congratulations to our Student Experience Team who have won the Innovation Through Diversity Prize, and to Ed Greenough for his contribution to the Boostcrop collaborative project which takes the Faraday Horizon Prize. Jack Woolley, WCUS RTP, also shares credit for collaborating on this project as well as winning the Technical Excellent Prize!

From developing greener materials and processes to growing more sustainable supply chains, a new £13.6 million research hub, funded by EPSRC, will help researchers at Warwick tackle some of the UK’s biggest manufacturing challenges.

Professor Julie Macpherson, Department of Chemistry at University of Warwick has been awarded the 2025 Advances in Measurement Science Lectureship Award for her outstanding contributions to electrochemical analysis and BDD sensors.
