How do you forgive a loved one? A stranger? Yourself? Is restoration always the best solution when something is broken? Where can we find beauty in brokenness, and brokenness in beauty? How do connections with each other help us grow and heal, individually and as a community? How can we nurture resilience in ourselves and in each other? What do our religious traditions and spiritual intuitions say about these questions?

The plight of the last year and a half has awakened in many a call, a beckoning, an incessant urge to reach out and give back. Indeed, times of sorrow for some can spur solidarity for others. We become acutely aware of the pain and suffering others feel and offer of ourselves to raise them up.

McGill University researchers have discovered the consequence of adding titanium and other stabilizing agents to high performing stainless steel on the material’s localized corrosion mechanism.

In a study published in npj Materials Degradation, the researchers describe a suite of electrochemical techniques used to characterize the material’s corrosion properties both on the macro and micro scale.

Our very own Yevegen Nazerneko and Uday Kurien along with faculty member Parisa Ariya have published a paper that shows that snow acts as a sink for nanosized particles from car exhausts. The article is published in the Royal Society Journal and has become the subject of a full article in the Royal Society Chemistry World and is classified as a hot article. Congratulations to all those involved.

Researchers at McGill University have discovered a clean photo-driven pathway for the efficient synthesis of aryl iodides under extremely mild conditions. The finding, published June 18 in J. Am. Chem. Soc., provides a more straightforward and greener option for preparing versatile iodide reagents, and avoids the problem of metal residue in synthetic chemistry.

The Arndtsen and Lumb research groups jointly report a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols without the use of traditional N-oxide co-oxidants. The tyrosinase inspired Cu-diamine complex efficiently mediates the oxidation of both activated and un-activated alcohols at ambient pressure and temperature.

Graduate student Anna Albertson and Assistant Professor Jean-Philip Lumb report a novel, bio-inspired approach to lignan natural products, which solves a longstanding challenge of mimicking their biosynthesis in the lab. The method provides an exceptionally efficient route to the furanolignans tanegool and pinoresinol. The work was recently published in Angewandte Chemie.
