Division develops and applies theoretical, computational and experimental methods to the study of surface reaction phenomena, cluster science and nucleation, biological processes and catalysis. World-leading research is conducted at the interface between homogenous and heterogenous catalysis. This research has led to improved processes for biodiesel production. New characterization techniques and theoretical methods to enable improved understanding and predictive catalysis is a goal of this program. CBS also develops new techniques to obtain an unprecedented look at living cells. Enhanced chemical imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution is another key area of technique development.
