Professor Molinero Among Scientists to Probe the Limits of Ice: a new PNAS PublicationHow small is the smallest possible particle of ice? It’s not a snowflake, measuring at a whopping fraction of an inch. According to new research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the smallest nanodroplet of water in which ice can form is only as big as 90 water molecules—a tenth the size of the smallest virus. At those small scales, according to University of Utah chemistry professor and study co-author Valeria Molinero, the transition between ice and water gets a little frizzy.
In Memoriam: James Sugihara“I have lived by the principle that one ought to give back more than they receive,” said Sugihara in 2018." James M. Sugihara, first Ph.D. recipient at the University of Utah and long-time faculty member in Chemistry, passed away on Nov. 12, 2019. He was 101.
Professor Shelley Minteer The New Poulter Chair in Biological ChemistryThe announcement was made last week that Professor Shelley Minteer will be the inaugural chair of the Dale and Susan Poulter Chair in Biological Chemistry.
Michael Gruenwald Recipient of NSF Early Career AwardDr. Gruenwald's research predicting nanocrystal superlattices based on ligand interactions will receive NSF funding over the next five years to carry out his proposed plans to advance his field and educate the next generation of researchers.
