We designed a robot to collect CO2RR rate data over a wide range of conditions (30+). Results suggest complex electrocatalytic phenomena like coverage effects & mixed control are prevalent even amongst well-known immobilized metal tetrapyrrole catalysts 👇pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congratulations to Professor Frances Arnold (Frances Arnold) on receiving the 2025 Priestley Medal! 🎉 The ACS is honoring Arnold, "for her pioneering contributions to the development of directed evolution as a method for chemical and biological design." cce.caltech.edu/news-and-event…

What an honor to be chosen for the Priestley Medal. #Enzymes are the best chemists, of course, but the Priestley medalists are no slouches...and include many of my colleagues Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering. Thank you!

Exciting news! A $30 million lead gift – from former Caltech postdocs Drs. Jack Zhang and Mary Luo – endows the Rudolph A. Marcus Center for Theoretical Chemistry. This gift pays tribute to the decades of friendship and support provided by Prof. Marcus. cce.caltech.edu/news-and-event…

I am excited to share our latest discovery which is out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! This study uncovers how engineered hemoproteins can leverage biological nitrogen cycle intermediates for enzymatic C–H amination, opening new paths towards sustainable synthesis. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

I'm so excited that this is out! Huge congrats to Steve and co, especially Daniil and Anton! We clearly show that cation vacancies enable anion oxidation using Steve's clever set of materials based on LiTiS2 and Li2TiS3. Vacancy = space and S nb states. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Professor André Hoelz has been named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator! Congratulations, Professor Hoelz! 🎉 cce.caltech.edu/news-and-event…

Congrats to Caltech professors Viviana Gradinaru (BS '05) and André Hoelz!

Today we report in J. Am. Chem. Soc. a novel and highly modular platform for mechanically triggered chemiluminescence (bright light emission) from polymers. Congrats to Peng Liu｜刘朋, Yu-Ling (Debbie), and coworkers! Collab with Shabat Group. Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering Caltech pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We're excited to have you, Johannes! Learn more about the Morstein Lab: morsteinlab.caltech.edu

A unique program, led by chemist Scott Cushing, pairs Caltech grad students and postdocs with undergraduate students from schools without strong research programs, and both benefit. caltech.edu/about/news/bui…

Mark your calendars! Professor Bil Clemons is set to kick off the 2024–25 Watson Lecture season on October 23. His lecture will highlight his lab's (Clemons Lab @Caltech) work in structural biology and explain how viruses can help fight bacterial infections.

Through a multi-institution effort, supported by the NSF, Prof. Kornfield will be collaborating with Prof. Daraio and Prof. Demirer to develop tools for genetic engineering of plants to create a locally growable alternative to the rubber tree. cce.caltech.edu/news-and-event…

Popping on here for the first time in forever to share this paper. I’m very proud of this work, a collaboration between my group and the Peters group ⁦Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering⁩. Amazing work by Chung, Emily and Dave, our part supported by ⁦Center for Synthetic Organic Electrochemistry⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In a new study published in Science, chemists from the Reisman group (Sarah Reisman) and Peters group found a solution that allows the samarium diiodide reagent to, essentially, recycle itself for repeated use in a single reaction. cce.caltech.edu/news-and-event…

The Shan lab and an international team of researchers from the University of Konstanz, and ETH Zurich has unraveled the complex molecular mechanism for 2 consecutive protein modifications that affect about 40% of all proteins in mammals. cce.caltech.edu/news-and-event…

Thrilled to share that, as of today, I've moved to Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering! It's a truly unique & special place. Looking forward to exciting new adventures! Our lab will still be pushing full steam ahead Princeton University this year before we complete the move to the west coast next summer. [1/2]

Join us in welcoming Sujit Datta, Prof. of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Biophysics, to CCE! 👋 Datta Lab studies the transport of complex, soft (“squishy”) & living systems through environments ranging from soils, sediments, & porous rocks to gels & tissues.
