Description: On 17th September the School of Chemistry hosted the inaugural East Midlands Chemistry Using Business Forum (EMCUBF). Our aim is to create a regional network between chemical using businesses and those in affiliated sectors, allowing members to share their knowledge and experience. A similar network already exists in north-west England (Chemicals North-West) and EMCUBF hopes to mirror its success. Whereas as the north-west contains much heavy industry, most of the chemical companies in the East Midlands are small and niche, although there are larger businesses such as Alliance Boots, Reckitt Benckiser and Fisher Scientific in the region. Meetings will aim to reflect the needs of the region's businesses, including funding opportunities, training and advice on legal and IP related issues.

Description: A major breakthrough in the search for alternatives to antibiotics and the treatment of infection could provide microbiologists with a whole new insight into the way germs co-exist with or attack humans. The discovery led by a team in Schools of Life Sciences and Chemistry at The University of Nottingham has revealed that bacteria are 'hijacking' the human body's own immune defences to adapt their life style inside our body and survive our immune response or build up their own attack.

Description: Research published in the leading journal Nature Communications has reported the first examples of four-membered carbon-based rings bonded to uranium. Cyclobutadienyl rings are a fundamentally important type of aromatic system which until now have predominantly been utilised in organometallic transition metal chemistry.

Description: Published in the leading journal Nature Chemistry, recent work by David King, a PhD student in the research group led by Dr Steve Liddle, has shown that uranium can engage in chemical bonding that is surprisingly covalent. Remarkably, the findings have shown that uranium can behave in much the same way as its counterparts in the well-known transitional metals such as chromium, molybdenum and tungsten.
