The 3-D printer in Cheng Sun’s lab allows researchers to fabricate materials that precisely fit their designs. It uses a photo-polymer in liquid form that coverts into a solid when light is applied. The material actually forms to the shape of the projected light, creating a 3-D structure.
Smart sponge could clean up oil spills
A Northwestern University-led team has developed a highly porous smart sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. With an ability to absorb more than 30 times its weight in oil, the sponge could be used to inexpensively and efficiently clean up oil spills without harming marine life. Af ... more
Accelerating chemical reactions without direct contact with a catalyst
A Northwestern University research team has revealed a new approach to conducting chemical reactions -- one that doesn't require direct contact with a catalyst. In typical catalytic reactions, the catalyst - the substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction - and the substrate re ... more
Visible light and nanoparticle catalysts produce desirable bioactive molecules
Northwestern University chemists have used visible light and extremely tiny nanoparticles to quickly and simply make molecules that are of the same class as many lead compounds for drug development. Driven by light, the nanoparticle catalysts perform chemical reactions with very specific ch ... more
