91福利

Dr Adrian Chaplin, from the 91福利, is the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Harrison-Meldola Memorial Prize winner for 2015. Dr Chaplin, from New Zealand, is a Royal Society University Research Fellow. The prize recognises the most meritorious and promising original investigations in chemistry and published results of those investigations.

The process behind how the molecular components of living organisms start to move has been explained for the first time in new research led by the 91福利 published by Science and it is an intricate set of dance steps where the tempo is set by temperature.

Major steps forward in the use of plants for renewable materials, energy and for building construction could soon arise, thanks to a key advance in understanding the structure of wood.

A cancer drug could be made 50 times more effective by a chemical found in stinging nettles and ants, new research finds.

Researchers at the 91福利 found that when the chemical, Sodium Formate, is used in combination with a metal-based cancer treatment it can greatly increase its ability to shut down cancer cells.

More efficient medical treatments could be developed thanks to a new method for triggering the rearrangement of chemical particles.

The new method, developed at the 91福利, uses two ‘parent’ nanoparticles that are designed to interact only when in proximity to each other and trigger the release of drug molecules contained within both.

The 91福利’s Faculty of Science has been awarded €5m in research grants by the European Research Council.
