Thanks to artificial intelligence: New method for targeted design of molecules
Potential applications include industrial processes, drug discovery and optoelectronics
09-Feb-2023
Engineering novel molecules and materials with specific properties can yield significant advances for industrial processes, drug discovery and optoelectronics. However, the search for novel molecules and materials is comparable to looking for a needle in a haystack, since the number of molecules ...
Compounds made from ‘digested’ molecules feeds appetite for greener pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals
New method uses enzymes to produce indolic amides, carboxylic acids and auxins – vital for use in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries
04-Feb-2022
A method of producing vital chemical building blocks for use in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries that mimics how plants manufacture them has been developed by University of Warwick scientists. Using enzymes in the same way that plants do, the scientists have created bacteria that ...
Efficiently "switching on" bacteria to produce high-value chemicals
Researchers have found a cheap way to switch bacteria into chemical production mode
10-Jun-2021
High-value chemicals used in biofuels and pharmaceuticals can be made from bacteria by switching their chemistry to produce novel products. Researchers from the University of Warwick have found a way to drastically cut the cost of turning on these switches.We use chemicals for almost everything, ...
Digitizing chemistry with a smart stir bar
A magnetic stirrer bar with an integrated process monitoring system
24-Jul-2020
Miniaturized computer systems and wireless technology are offering scientists new ways to keep tabs on reactions without the need for larger, cumbersome equipment. In a proof-of-concept study in ACS Sensors, researchers describe an inexpensive new device that functions like a conventional ...
Chemicals for pharmaceuticals could be made cheaper and greener by new catalysts
04-Oct-2019
High value chemicals used to make pharmaceuticals could be made much cheaper and quicker thanks to a series of new catalysts made by scientists at the University of Warwick in collaboration with GoldenKeys High-Tech Co., Ltd. in China. The process of making high-value chemicals for uses such as ...
Elusive compounds of greenhouse gas isolated
19-Sep-2019
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent atmospheric pollutant. Although naturally occurring, anthropogenic N2O emissions from intensive agricultural fertilisation, industrial processes, and combustion of fossil fuels and biomass are a major cause for concern. Researchers at the University of Warwick have ...
Disruptive 2D mass spectrometry spin-out secures seed investment
18-Jun-2019
Verdel Instruments Ltd - a spin-out company of the University of Warwick UK – has developed new disruptive two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2DMS) technology and raised seed investment of over £230,000 from Longwall Ventures and Innovate UK. Designed by world-leading researchers, this is the ...
Atomically thin nanowires convert heat to electricity more efficiently
05-Jun-2018
Waste heat can be converted to electricity more efficiently using one-dimensional nanoscale materials as thin as an atom - ushering a new way of generating sustainable energy - thanks to new research by the University of Warwick. Led by Drs Andrij Vasylenko, Samuel Marks, Jeremy Sloan and David ...
Nanoscale measurements 100x more precise, thanks to improved two-photon technique
08-May-2018
Technique uses photons, fundamental components of light, to measure nanoscopic materials thinner than 100,000th the width of a human hair - with 30,000 fired per second and 500bn throughout Research will mean measurements 100x more precise than existing two-photon techniques - with the potential ...
Record high photoconductivity for new MOF material
19-Dec-2017
An international team of scientists, from the University of Surrey, University of São Paulo (Brazil), the University of Warwick and the University of Grenoble-Alpes (France), has created a new metal-organic framework (MOF) that has shown record high photo-conductivity levels for a material of its ...
