The Central Laser Facility (CLF) at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is a world leading laser facility, providing scientists, from the UK and Europe and industry with an unparalleled…
Numerous disciplines, such as image recognition and machine translation, have been revolutionized by using machine learning (ML) to leverage big data. In organic synthesis, providing accurate chemical reactivity prediction with…
Chromatographic Data are the main source of information for any work involving the synthesis or analysis of small molecules – We have developed a software package for the analysis of…
The synthesis of molecular materials and supramolecular systems is challenging – in part because their formation and self-assembly is strongly influenced by reaction environment. We use three approaches to control…
The vast space of all theoretical open shell transition metal catalysts challenges conventional experimentation or computation (i.e., with density functional theory, DFT). I will describe how we have built tailored…
Traditionally, discovery in catalysis is an empirical process that is mostly reliant on human knowledge and intuition and often involves extensive, iterative trial-and-error screening rather than quantitative predictions. This is…
Since the 1930s, fixed bed reactors (FBR) have been operated for continuous hydrogenation reactions in the petrochemical/fine chemical industries, with publications each year detailing engineering principles, scientific breakthroughs, equipment design…
The University of Aberdeen has just put out an advert for 20 five-year fellows as part of our Aberdeen 2040 interdisciplinarity drive. These fellowships will provide exceptional researchers with an opportunity…
The three-year post, funded by the BBSRC, is available to work on the development of a carboxyl methyltransferase enzyme and its integration into enzyme cascades with acyl transferases for the synthesis…
It is with great sadness that we hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen, Queen Elizabeth II. As the longest serving monarch in British history, The Queen has…
