Raphael Ribeiro is co-editor of a new book, “Polariton Chemistry: Molecules in Cavities”, along with Joel Yuen-Zhou at UC San Diego, and Professor Chris Giebink at the University of Michigan. Polariton Chemistry is a rapidly emerging field that is focused on understanding the extent to which physical and chemical properties of molecules change when they are placed in an optical microcavity.

The NIH-funded Center on Probes for Molecular Mechanotechnology, led by Emory chemist Dr. Khalid Salaita, recently hosted a three-day workshop titled “Mechanobiology Methods: From Molecules to Cells.” The event welcomed 16 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from across the country—including participants from Berkeley, Stanford, University of Utah, University of Maryland, University of Minnesota, Brown, Georgia…Continue readingMechanobiology workshop brings national cohort to Emory for intensive training
Chemist Mingji Dai, part of a team funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, has contributed to the development of a new process to synthesize a plant-based compound that shows effectiveness against triple-negative breast cancer cells. Continue readingLab-synthesized botanical compound shows promise for fighting aggressive breast cancer
Advanced computational software is streamlining quantum chemistry research by automating many of the processes of running molecular simulations. The complicated design of these software packages, however, often limits their use to theoretical chemists trained in specialized computing techniques. A new web platform developed by Fang Liu’s theoretical chemsitry group at Emory University overcomes this limitation with a user-friendly chatbot.Continue readingChatbot opens computational chemistry to nonexperts
The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) named William Wuest, Emory professor of chemistry, to its 2025 class of Senior Members, comprised of 162 emerging inventors from NAI member institutions.Continue readingNational Academy of Inventors names chemist Bill Wuest to 2025 class of Senior Members
