Sussex University has always supported unusual, interdisciplinary and innovative faculties. A good example of this was the Nitrogen Fixation Centre. Jeff Leigh was part of this exceptional work who's aim was to discover how nature uses nitrogen to cr....

In part three of this three part series, FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley, summarizes the conclusions of ongoing FSU microwave chemistry research. He discusses the implications and future prospects of microwave research, addressing how other labs could....

In part two of this three part series, FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley, discusses in depth the microwave chemistry research he's conducted in collaboration with FSU colleague Dr. Al Stiegman. The research outlines Friedel-Crafts substitutions, Aryl-Cl....

In part one of this three part series, FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley, puts forth the controversy that surrounds microwave chemistry research, he outlines physical theory of microwave chemistry, and discusses the research teams central design hypothe....

This is the introduction to a three part research presentation on microwave chemistry given by FSU chemist Dr. Gregory Dudley. Dudley reports on joint FSU research surrounding microwave chemistry and its previously unknown potential in lab applicatio....

Jonathan Christian discusses what it means to be a material/physical chemist. He shows how a physical chemist characterizes materials using his research into Chromium 3+ polyoxometalates.

Florida State graduate student Brian Gold discusses his research into click chemistry, that is building complex molecules using simple reactions that always work. Brian's project focuses on increasing ring strain of organic molecules without reducing....

Brahatheeswaran describes how tissue scaffolds can be made in novel ways.  This lecture is his PhD thesis defence.

During his PhD thesis defence, Ankur looks at the ways in which various techniques are used for the creation of the desired structural characteristics of carbon nanotubes  

The science of carbon nanotubes and related materials. How can we use them to make novel hybrid structures?

A panel of experts discussed the powerful effects that fragrances have on enhancing lives, rehabilitation and triggering reactions and memories.

Darryl Ventura presents his research into developing functional carbon nanotube based materials.

The Women in Nanotechnology project (WomenInNano) was a 3 year EU Research Project with the aim of finding out ways to support and encourage women working in Nanotechnology. In 2008 the Vega Science Trust was asked to make a short film documenting th....

What is nanotechnology? Will it change the world, as some have promised? What is all this about molecular machines in our blood? Let the Next Big Thing video on Nanotechnology explain all!

We are faced with energy challenges and the promise of power with hydrogen. The fuel cell and solid state hydrogen storage methodologies are currently limited by materials and represent the cutting edge of energy technology. Implementation to a real ....

Many products you use everyday are the direct result of synthetic innovation in organic chemistry. The McQuade group is interested designing catalysts to aid in more efficient synthetic transformations. n We are especially interested in the effect of....

Some heart arrhythmias are produced by the presence of additional pacemakers in the heart. Those pacemakers are death tissues or scars that trap electrical waves. As an analogy, we pinned scroll waves to obstacles using the Belousov-Zhabotinsky react....

We have synthesized different alkali metal peroxychromates and K3NbO8 doped with K3CrO8crystals based on rare oxidation state of Chromium (V).We have studied their spectroscopic properties using EPR and pulsed EPR. Coherent spin manipulation on Cr+5 ....

Etherification and olefination reactions play an important role in synthetic organic chemistry on a daily basis. As organic chemists we apply these methods to tackle synthetic targets of ever increasing complexity. As a graduate student in the Dudley....

The development of reliable molecular scale building blocks for the construction of nanoscale devices is one of the greatest challenges for the development of numerous applications of these exciting materials. This research describes our efforts in t....

This talk is aimed primarily at young children and expresses my enthusiasm and my love for science. Its an attempt at expressing that Science is fun. I talk about some of the experiments done as part of my graduate work. Strategies for achieving guid....
