The discipline of Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CRE) seeks to control and understand the networks of reactions that occur in ‘reactors’ ranging from cellular compartments up to world-scale ...

Chemical engineers are the brains behind many of today’s essential products and materials. They turn crude oil, biological materials, metals and waste materials into usable products like gasoline, ...

By fine-tuning the surroundings of single cobalt atoms, researchers reveal how tiny design changes can steer oxygen reactions ...

A Northwestern Engineering synthetic biology research team has developed a method to selectively drive the fusion of lipid nanoparticles — an emerging carrier for therapeutics — resulting in protein ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that can predict the structures of transition states of chemical reactions in less than a second, with high accuracy. Their model could make it easier ...

Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes. In Chapter 5, students learned how the process of dissolving ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

If chemical reactions can be 'programmed' like other types of computing machines, they might be exploited for applications in many areas, including intelligent drug delivery, neural networks, or even ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

Part of the complex process that turns raw materials into finished products like detergents, cosmetics and flavors relies on enzymes, which facilitate chemical transformations. But finding the right ...

A Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wyoming prepares you for the highest levels of practice and scholarly research. Working closely with world-class scholars on studies related to ...
