Dr. Eric Masson and his research group recently showed that Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), a molecule that resembles a hollow pumpkin, can be used to connect building blocks to one another in a well-defined sequence. Masson, the Roenigk Chair and Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Ohio University, took inspiration from […]

The groups of Dr. Eric Masson and Dr. Oren Scherman, a collaborator from the University of Cambridge, UK, recently showed that Cucurbiturils, a family of molecules that have the shape of a hollow pumpkin, could be used as catalysts for a well-known reaction in organic chemistry. By encapsulating reagents, Cucurbiturils force the reacting partners […]

Dr. Anthony Stender, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Ohio University, is a co-author with scientists at Rice University and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, on the discovery of a method to make atomically flat gallium that shows promise for nanoscale electronics. “The Rice lab of materials scientist […]

Dr. Peter de B. Harrington, Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, was quoted in an Analytical Cannabis article headlined “Chemotyping: Classifying cannabis strains by chemical composition.” An approach to optimizing the chemotyping of cannabis strains has been outlined by researchers at Ohio University and Chemistry Mapping Inc. Specifically, they evaluated the […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Dr. Saw-Wai Hla was awarded the 2017 Samuel D. Bader Prize for Exceptional Achievement from the Nanoscience and Technology division of Argonne National Laboratory. “Dr. Saw Hla has been instrumental in establishing the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne as a (Department of Energy) […]

From Research Communications Two Chemistry & Biochemistry professors were recognized at the Ohio University Inventors Dinner for patents they received. The dinner recognized individuals who engaged with the university’s Technology Transfer Office over the past year to commercialize their research findings, by protecting their intellectual property through the patent process. […]

In a newly published journal article, Dr. Anthony Stender and his collaborators studied the optical properties of porous silica particles that were covered with varying amounts of smaller gold nanoparticles. Stender, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Ohio University, is a co-author on “Monitoring the Stimulated Uncapping Process of […]
