- A team of Beckman researchers that was led by Nancy Sottos and Mayank Garg and included chemistry professor Jeffrey Moore has shortened the manufacturing process of making vascular networks in structural materials by harnessing frontal polymerization of readily available resins.
- The funding will enable researchers to begin screening and designing electron and ion transporting properties of polymers across the chemical genome, which will seed broader efforts in Nick Jackson's research group that are focused on data-driven design across soft materials chemistry.
- Professor Wilfred van der Donk and other researchers have solved a decades-long mystery of an ‘orphan’ family of proteins called LanCLs that are found in all living organisms but whose function was previously unknown.

John Christian Bailar, Jr. was born in Golden, Colorado in 1904 and received his degrees in chemistry from Colorado and Michigan. He became an instructor at the University of Illinois in 1928 and began a sixty-three year career in Illinois - Department of Chemistry. He became associate professor in 1930 and full professor in 1943. Although interested in organic isomerism as a graduate student, it was while teaching a general chemistry course that he realized that isomerism, the occurrence of different compounds with the same chemical composition, is a general phenomenon that could also exist...
