### *Physical Chemistry provides the means – both experimental and theoretical – through which we understand chemistry. Research at the University of Chicago incorporates spectroscopy, nanomaterials, biophysics, dynamics, electronic structure, microscopy, quantum dynamics, materials design, and thermodynamics to answer fundamental questions at the frontiers of physical chemistry.*

Experimental advances and ideas emerging from physical chemistry laboratories drive our view of molecular reactivity and structure. UChicago offers state-of-the-art equipment and facilities that enable uniquely powerful and incisive measurements, computations, and science.
