Grants from the Provost and the Dean for Research will transform materials science, synthesis, catalysis, and chemical biology research across campus through the acquisition of a powerful new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy tool and an extensive facility upgrade.

Nature uses 20 canonical amino acids as building blocks to make proteins, combining their sequences to create complex molecules that perform biological functions.

Quantum dots are fluorescent nanocrystals used in electronic applications from LED screens to solar panels. A team of Princeton chemists led by Michael Hecht and Gregory Scholes have created a new protein that accelerates — and improves the environmental friendliness of — the synthesis of quantum dots. Quantum dots are normally made in industrial settings with high temperatures and toxic, expensive solvents, but the Princeton team pulled off the process in the lab using water as a solvent,...

Princeton Chemistry's new two-month summer program draws faculty and students from moderate to small research institutions that serve historically underrepresented groups.
