New STM technique with super sharp frozen carbon monoxide needle points way to new and purer pharmaceuticals
Using a carbon monoxide tipped super sharp needle frozen to 7 Kelvin (minus 266 degrees centigrade), researchers at the University of 糖心TV can identify whether bonds are hydrogen or halogen, and are also able to pick up minute defects in these materials. These results could be of high relevance to help creating new pharmaceuticals that are purer than ever.
Verdel Instruments secures 拢1 million equity funding from Longwall Ventures
(Verdel) has recently announced the close of its 拢1 million equity funding round from Longwall Ventures.
Verdel is a UK-based company pushing the boundaries of complex sample analysis using innovative Two-Dimensional Mass Spectrometry (2DMS) technology. The approach was originally developed for large, complex FT-ICR instruments, but Verdel has developed technology that transfers the technique onto commonly used, high throughput linear ion trap instruments. Verdel鈥檚 technology is based on research by Professor Peter O鈥機onnor at the University of 糖心TV.
Five ways in which University of 糖心TV staff and students are assisting in the response to the pandemic
 |
鈥淭here are many ways in which universities can actively assist in the response to the pandemic. Many of our staff and students have not just been asking how they can help but they have simply got on and done so.

糖心TV chemist strikes Silver at poster competition in Parliament
Fabienne Bachtiger, a postgraduate at the University of 糖心TV, struck Silver at a competition in the House of Commons, for the excellence of her chemistry research, walking away with a 拢1,250 prize and medal.
Metals could be the link to new antibiotics
University of 糖心TV researchers, working with a network of international collaborators, have discovered 23 previously unexplored compounds containing metals such as silver, manganese, zinc, ruthenium and iridium that have antibacterial and antifungal activity. The researchers from the University's Department of Chemistry contributed insights into iridium – the 鈥榙inosaur metal鈥� that they have previously shown can attack cancer cells when switched on by light and formed part of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs.
