A #VirginiaTech professor has found a way to convert certain plastics into soaps and detergents. Now, he’s helping to explore business models that can profitably use his process on a much larger scale. news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

So excited to announce the successful defense of Dr. Ben Thomas! #VTChemDept

Awesome accomplishment for a great colleague!

Another reason why working at Virginia Tech Chemistry is awesome - our login credentials are easy to find on government websites - we are almost always at the end of the list - scroll, click, and done!

Congrats to Webster Santos Joe Quinlan and team Hoehn lab for developing this new class of #mitouncouplers! Virginia Tech Chemistry Virginia Tech Science Check it out here doi.org/10.1016/j.bmc.…

One final publication for 2024! This work was spearheaded by @CarlaMenegatti but was the ultimate team effort with collaborations with Millipede Lab, Anne Brown, Thomas Williamson, and Tappey Jones. So happy to finally be able to share this story. Virginia Tech Chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Welcome to I-APS! youtube.com/watch?v=jt23o7… Any chance I have to reference Taylor Swift for a chemistry conference, I am taking.

Dynamic crystals are so much fun, and there are lots of collaborations involved in this research! More information here -> sas.rochester.edu/chm/undergradu… Please RT!

Great story about the prospects of upcycling plastic into soap. Congrats to Greg Liu (Guoliang (Greg) Liu)! Virginia Tech Chemistry Virginia Tech Science wvtf.org/news/2025-01-1…

Congratulations and thanks Maggie Bump for her many years of service to Virginia Tech Chemistry and our students. Best wishes for your next chapter! Virginia Tech Science news.vt.edu/content/news_v…

Congratulations and best wishes to Harry Dorn for all that he has done for our students and for Virginia Tech Chemistry. Virginia Tech Science news.vt.edu/content/news_v…

Great connecting with alumni in the triangle! #HokieChemFamily

We are excited to announce a series of spotlights on our outstanding faculty's research! We'll be posting every week for Throwback Thursday, featuring impactful research from over the years. Stay tuned to see our first throwback!

This Thursday's feature is on T. Daniel Crawford's article "Local correlation domains for coupled cluster theory: optical rotation and magnetic-field perturbations" published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Check out the full article here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

This Throwback Thursday we are showcasing an article that features Profs. Diego Troya and John Morris Lab VT titled "Adsorption of Substituted Benzene Derivatives on Silica: Effects of Electron Withdrawing and Donating Groups." Read the full article: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #vtchemtbt

Thrilled to share our latest J. Am. Chem. Soc.. We show that unlike previous tandem CO2RR systems, a MOF-based molecular catalyst tandem utilizes a reaction intermediate other than CO (HCHO), and thus convert CO2 to Methanol. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Congrats Arnab Ghatak G SHIVA SHANKER!

🚨 #vtchemtbt spotlight! In 2017, Matson Lab developed a plastic that is: Biodegradable ✅ Photodegradable ✅ Strong as rubber (1600 MPa!) 💪 Heat-resistant (273 °C) 🔥 Built using ROMP + ROP magic 🧪 Full paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #PolymerScience #Plastics

An inspiring week at the Returning to the Molecule workshop in Telluride—amazing science, deep discussions, and a fantastic group of researchers pushing the boundaries of porous frameworks. Grateful to be part of this community!

For this #vtchemtbt, we’re spotlighting Lou Madsen Research Group's work! His team studied how self-assembling molecules form liquid crystals with nanochannels that reshape with humidity—unlocking fast ion transport for next-gen batteries & fuel cells ⚡ 📖 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… #nanotech

🎉 Big news! The MolSSI is delighted to congratulate our incoming class of Software Fellows for 2025-26, who will be advancing cutting-edge research under MolSSI's support & mentorship. See you at VT in 3 weeks for your Software Best Practices Bootcamp!👏 molssi.org/fellowship/mol…
