A collaboration between the University of York and Johnson Matthey has led to a lower-energy route to recycle iridium from complex industrial waste streams, providing a key platform for sustainable and circular iridium use.

Excellent technical support in Chemistry is absolutely key to the high-quality research we publish. In the last year over 30 publications have featured technical colleagues as co-authors, from across all our six major research themes.

The biannual magazine from the Department of Chemistry highlights our activities, focusing on our people, our teaching and our research.

A new study co-authored by York Structural Biology Laboratory’s Dr Pavol Bárdy and Mai Nguyen reveals how bacteria co-opt an ancient immune system to trigger self-destruction and spread antibiotic resistance.

A York chemical toolkit identifies xylanases matched to specific plant wastes, helping design more efficient enzyme cocktails for biofuels and biobased chemicals.

A new study unravels the hidden molecular chemistry of hyperpolarisation, paving the way for more powerful, real-time metabolic MRI scans

BN-polymers are potential pre-ceramic precursors for producing technologically important shaped boron-nitride materials. A new report now unlocks their precisely tuneable synthesis, on scale and with very small amounts of catalyst, all enabled through a detailed understanding of the catalytic mechanism.

Recently published in Nature Reviews Chemistry Julia Sarju explores the sensory landscape of chemistry labs
