Local scientists have recently secured additional funding to advance technologies aimed at eliminating toxic "forever chemicals" from the Great Lakes. This funding will support the testing of Will Dichtel's latest technology, which utilizes a material derived from corn. This innovative approach rapidly binds PFAS as water flows through it, and it is a crucial component of the Current's ReNEW initiative.
As the landscape of science evolves to become more diverse, it is crucial to reflect on our historical roots to ensure a welcoming future. Associate Professor of Instruction, Stephanie Knezz, takes a unique approach by using the first day of her introductory and organic chemistry classes to delve into the real-world consequences of science's homogeneous past. Learn more about how Stephanie’s innovative teaching practice is making a profound impact on the STEM education experience at Northwestern
Nathan Gianneschi, along with researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has recently unveiled a revolutionary Proteomimetic Polymer Technology in Advanced Materials. This study introduces a pioneering approach to combat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS. By utilizing artificial proteins made with precision polymers, this research aims to transform therapeutic development and address the critical challenge of oxidative stress in neurodegenerative conditions. Discover more on how this could shape the future of neurodegenerative disease treatment.
