Chemistry in a relationship refers to the intense feelings of connection, passion and romance that people share. This Valentine's Day, Dr Alex Baker, a chemistry professor at the University of Warwick, explores the real chemistry behind chemistry. He explains how flowers and chocolates are as good as any love potion you could create to induce feelings of love.

With New Years Eve on the horizon, scientists reveal just why fireworks are differently coloured and what this can teach us about stars in space.

Elements commonly found in salts are used to make the colours in fireworks. The colours are caused when the elements are heated, causing them to release light in different colours, from bright blues to deep reds.

The University of Warwick has opened its science labs for A-Level students from Aylesford School, Warwick who have been affected by asbestos.

Dr Mark Greenhalgh, a chemist at the University of Warwick, has secured a substantial grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to establish an international collaboration for his pioneering research in catalysis and molecular interactions.

With bonfire night on the horizon, scientists reveal just why fireworks are differently coloured and what this can teach us about stars in space.

For the first time, scientists will develop a universal software framework for simulations, removing many barriers that exist to achieving a deeper understanding across the quantum world.

The University of Warwick will be at the forefront of research into sustainable materials, thanks to a share of £80 million funding by the Royal Society.

Researchers from The University of Warwick and the University of Manchester have finally solved the long-standing puzzle of why graphene is so much more permeable to protons than expected by theory.

Three world-class researchers from the University of Warwick have been recognised for their outstanding work by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Researchers are working on sustainable technology to harvest solar power in space – which could supplement life support systems on the Moon and Mars.

A method to store advanced cell models has been developed by researchers at the University of Warwick.

A new discovery by researchers at the University of Warwick could help stop bacteria being contaminated with viruses, reducing disruption and decreasing costs in industry and research.

A company born out of ground-breaking research at The University of Warwick has raised almost £3 million of to develop a testosterone patch for people suffering from low libido and reduced zest for life due to the menopause.

Tiny materials one hundred thousand times smaller than the width of a strand of hair could be used to improve solar cell technology. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming modern electronics – accelerating the design of bendable TV screens, ultra-lightweight revolutionised solar cells and more.

New electron diffraction equipment will revolutionise how we understand crystal structures.

Historic agreement sees the university and Bolivia collaborate on lithium battery project and provide scholarships for Bolivian students

Professor Peter Sadler has been announced as the recipient of the Davy Medal, for pioneering the research field of medicinal inorganic chemistry, ‘Metals in Medicine’, and the design of new metallodrugs with novel mechanisms of action. His research regonised by the Royal Society includes targeting cancer cells with the metal iridium – thought to have arrived on Earth via the asteroid that caused the dinosaurs’ extinction.

A new technique for freezing cells for use in biomedical research, based on polymer technology developed at the University of Warwick, has been validated in study, paving the way for faster results for scientists in their research.

A potentially better way to make oxygen for astronauts in space using magnetism has been proposed by an international team of scientists, including a University of Warwick chemist.
