New work from the UW Clean Energy Institute suggests cheap energy in the form of solar cells is closer than we think.

New work from UW researchers, including Pradipsinh Rathod from Chemistry, can help predict severe malaria disease in adults.

A Pacific Science Center exhibit features the work—and snacks—of grad students in the Department of Chemistry. 

David Masiello is an assistant professor of chemistry and adjunct assistant professor of applied mathematics.

Three A&S alumni recently opened Seattle's first cat café, which brings together two Northwest favorites: coffee and kitties.  

Faculty across the College recommend a favorite book related to their field.

Brandi Cossairt, UW professor of chemistry, will receive five-year funding through Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering.

The fellowship includes a five-year research grant of $875,000.

The national award recognizes outstanding research in the preparation, reactions, properties, or structure of organometallic substances.

Crystals play an important role in the formation of substances from skeletons and shells to soils and semiconductor materials. But many aspects of their formation are shrouded in mystery.

Energy experts project solar power to dominate by 2040, thanks to cheap technology and trillions of dollars in solar research. Some of that research is coming out of labs at the UW.

UW researchers have developed a new, long-acting malaria drug that they believe may help fight one of the world's biggest killers.

An international team of scientists — led by researchers from the University of Washington and two other institutions — has announced that a new compound to fight malaria is ready for human trials.

Four students who earned graduate degrees this year have been named A&S Graduate Medalists for 2015.

UW Chemistry Professor David Ginger's work could revolutionize the solar and electronics industries.
