From drug discovery to materials engineering, the new oxonium could open up a whole new chapter in chemistry by design.
The award will support Chung's investigation of molecular interactions on the surfaces of cells, where many critical life processes take place.
Using sunlight to split water, or H2O, into hydrogen and oxygen represents what Justin Sambur, associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University, calls “a holy grail in energy science.”
Rachel Mueller, a professor in the Department of Biology at CSU, studies salamanders and their cellular makeup. She’s found an interesting quirk in these species’ evolutionary histories – they’re full of “junk” DNA.
The study, funded by Bay Area Lyme Foundation, showed that American dog ticks are present in 16 counties in Colorado where they were not previously identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Proteins that regulate mitosis can play essential roles in determining whether cancer cells proliferate or die.
They say we grow until a certain age. Then, we just oxidize.
James Bamburg was elected Fellow of the American Society for Cell Biology, but his legacy doesn't end with just his research.
When you’re cooking or cleaning inside your home, what chemicals are you breathing, and are they potentially harmful? CSU chemists have given us a solid start on the answer.
