Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesising hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate - offering fresh hope in the global fight against drug-resistant infections.

In work carried out at the University of York, a team of scientists led by Prof. Paul McGonigal have discovered state-independent ionic conductivity.

New research resolves how the critical tuberculosis drug bedaquiline disrupts bioenergetics to attack the pathogen by using a powerful spectroscopic technique

Cooking curries and other spicy foods can contribute to indoor air pollution and occupant health.

Congratulations to all Chemistry@York individuals and teams highlighted at this year’s University of York Inclusive Impact Awards.

A sunscreen molecule that encounters metal ions can absorb light in a very different way.

De-icing fluids are typically sprayed on aircraft to remove ice, while anti-icing agents prevent the build-up of ice, providing so-called ‘holdover protection’. Such fluids play a vital role in the safe operation of aircraft in low-temperature conditions. They are based on glycol/water solvent mixtures, with anti-icing fluids having polymer additives that generate a barrier to inhibit ice formation.

Recent global regulations have significantly reduced sulfur emissions from ships, something that has been confirmed by a new study led by researchers from the Department of Chemistry at the University of York and National Centre for Atmospheric Science.
