Tom Wilson signed up for the UC Irvine School of Law’s pro bono program because he wanted to help underrepresented members of the community get legal issues resolved. He quickly learned that many members of the nation’s military fall into that “underrepresented” category. Since spring 2010, UCI law students have volunteered at Camp Pendleton, doing […]

UC Irvine Center for Chemical Innovation wins second, $20 million grant to observe molecules in action

The UC Irvine Center for Chemistry at the Space-Time Limit has received a $20 million renewal award from the National Science Foundation to continue its ground-breaking work in pushing the limits of interrogating chemistry on ultrafast and ultrasmall scales. Ultimately, the goal is capture chemistry in the act on the single-molecule level.

Imaging the inner workings of single molecules

With $20 million over five years from the National Science Foundation, UC Irvine scientists hope to become the first ever to make real-time videos of single molecules in action – a feat that has proved elusive because size and time scales are so small.
