While the possible health effects of ingesting these particles are currently unknown, the new research published in the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science & Technology suggests further investigation is needed.</p> Tue, 24 Sep 2019 12:58:53 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 188014 at /newsroom /newsroom/nathan-luedtke Mon, 13 Jan 2020 20:37:56 +0000 frederique.mazerolle@mcgill.ca 196243 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/pollution-athabasca-oil-sands-affects-weather-processes-302608 <p>Scientists have been looking at pollution affecting the air, land and water around the Athabasca Oil Sands for some time. After looking at contaminants in snow taken from up-to 25 km away from the oil sands, a 缅北强奸-led scientific team now suggests that oil sand pollution is also affecting the weather patterns in the surrounding regions.</p> Thu, 14 Nov 2019 14:03:30 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 188193 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/tomislav-friscic-awarded-steacie-prize-natural-sciences-292481 <p>Professor <a href="http://friscic.research.mcgill.ca/">Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰</a> is the recipient of the prestigious <a href="http://www.steacieprize.ca/index_e.html">Steacie Prize for Natural Sciences</a> for his exceptional contributions to Green Chemistry research in Canada.

The discovery provides scientists with a new way to investigate the effectiveness of drug candidates that might otherwise have been overlooked.</p> <p>The new method centres on the principle of enzyme inhibition. Countless pharmaceuticals, ranging from antibiotics to chemotherapy drugs, work by blocking the action of enzymes, and the search for new enzyme-inhibiting substances remains a major focus of drug development.</p> Thu, 01 Mar 2018 14:26:43 +0000 justin.dupuis@mcgill.ca 33174 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/cen-magazine-shaking-gold-and-palladium-284124 <p>Mechanochemical method developed by聽Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰 and team makes noble metal compounds without solvents or harsh reagents聽</p> <p><a href="https://cen.acs.org/articles/96/i5/Shaking-gold-palladium.html">C&En Magazine</a></p> <p>聽</p> Wed, 24 Jan 2018 17:38:20 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 32893 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/using-dna-strands-design-new-polymer-materials-283461 <p>缅北强奸 researchers have chemically imprinted polymer particles with DNA strands 鈥� a technique that could lead to new materials for applications ranging from biomedicine to the promising field of 鈥渟oft robotics.鈥�</p> <p>In a study published in <em>Nature Chemistry</em>, the researchers describe a method to create asymmetrical polymer particles that bind together in a spatially defined manner, the way that atoms come together to make molecules.</p> Mon, 18 Dec 2017 21:56:12 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 32803 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/sex-drugs-and-rock-roll-chemistry-brain-265603 <p>The same brain-chemical system that mediates feelings of pleasure from sex, recreational drugs, and food is also critical to experiencing musical pleasure, according to a study by 缅北强奸 researchers published today in the <em>Nature</em> journal <em>Scientific Reports</em>.</p> Mon, 06 Feb 2017 20:49:25 +0000 priya.pajel@mail.mcgill.ca 26679 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/tomislav-friscic-awarded-nsercs-steacie-memorial-fellowship-265609 <p>The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada has awarded an E.W.R Steacie Memorial Fellowship to Prof. Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰, to support his work in an innovative branch of chemistry that aims to develop environmentally friendly alternatives to solvent-based chemical processes. 聽</p> <p><span>NSERC awards up to six of these two-year, $250,000 fellowships annually to enhance the career development of outstanding and highly promising scientists and engineers.</span></p> Mon, 06 Feb 2017 21:51:22 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 26683 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/backyard-pool-chemical-nanomaterial-259330 <p><b><i>By Chris Chipello, <a href="/newsroom">缅北强奸 Newsroom</a></i></b></p> <p>Could a cheap molecule used to disinfect swimming pools provide the key to creating a new form of DNA nanomaterials?</p> Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:17:13 +0000 nima.adibpour@mail.mcgill.ca 25406 at /newsroom /newsroom/rustam-khaliullin Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 priya.pajel@mail.mcgill.ca 24482 at /newsroom /newsroom/bruce-lennox Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 22782 at /newsroom
