A multinational team reports their new Ace-SABRE hyperpolarisation platform enables safe and rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pyruvate, which is an important metabolic component in many disease pathways, including cancer. The ability to create hyperpolarised pyruvate in a safe and effective way, avoiding the use of toxic solvents, will enable the use of Ace-SABRE in biological or clinical settings.

Professor Andrew Weller has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant worth €2.5 million over 5 years to study in crystallo organometallic synthesis and catalysis

Sulfur-modified Starbons enable platinum-group metals to be fished out of complex mixtures.

The Chemistry Analytical Facility (CAF) within the Department of Chemistry at York held its first showcase event on 22nd July funded by the ITSS Technology Specialists Network.

The latest edition of our twice-yearly magazine brings recent news from the Department celebrating the achievements of our colleagues, students and alumni.

A Royal Society of Chemistry Horizon Prize film celebrates pioneering work on microbial sulfur recycling by researchers in the department and international collaborators. Discover how microbes power ecosystems and climate via organosulfur metabolism.

The discovery of fundamental rules allows the efficient and selective separation of polymer mixtures by chemical recycling into pure monomers.

The results of the 2025 National Student Survey have revealed the strengths of the Department of Chemistry which has excelled in ‘Assessment and Feedback’, ‘Academic Support’ and ‘Learning Resources’.
