The Cronin Group

Research in the Cronin Group is motivated by the fascination for complex chemical systems, and the desire to construct complex functional molecular architectures that are not based on biologically derived building blocks.

Cronin Group "Chemputer" Technology Features in Technology Today

The Cronin Group “Chemputer” technology has featured in Technology Today in Techdirections, which is described as “a magazine and website for technology, career/technical, and engineering education”. In the article, which can be found online, the author compares the chemputer to the replicator from the Star Trek universe. Although materialising objects from energy may still be in the realms of science fiction, the Chemputer represents the first step towards being able to synthesise any chemical on demand, a feat which, until recently, would have been unthinkable.
