Patients may one day see a benefit that can be tied back to rotenone research.
The tingling on your tongue could be very powerful
What’s less certain is the effect of these nanomaterials on the environment as these goods decompose in landfills.
These days, “nanomaterials” — extremely tiny materials — are found in many consumer goods. Dr. Adam Wanekaya, associate professor of chemistry, has researched nanomaterials since his days as a doctoral student in the early 2000s.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest step that can prove to be the biggest help during processes in nature. Dr. Matthew Siebert, assistant professor of chemistry, recently published an article investigating two pathways for one plant process in developing rotenone. “Rotenone is an interesting chemical,” said Siebert. “It is used as pesticide, or insect killer, or piscicide, […]
