Scientists in South Korea have developed a novel reserve battery that combines long shelf life with flexibility and could have useful applications in wearable devices.
A detailed study of molecules called N-glycans in frog embryos suggests they play a vital role in developing the nervous systems in vertebrates, including ourselves.
Superamphiphobic material can ‘bounce’ water droplets from air. The new solution could produce ultra-fog resistant car windows and faster drainage systems.
This week’s Chemical Science Pick of the Week describes how the formation energy of oxygen vacancies in metal oxides is an accurate descriptor of the energy input needed for C–O and N–O bond scission.
In our Chemical Science Pick of the Week, a novel cancer-targeting iridium complex was demonstrated to act as an effective radiosensitiser for image-guided cancer radiochemotherapy.
Our ChemSci Pick of the Week demonstrates the scalable synthesis of metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) using ultrasonic or acoustic frequencies – rather than solvent-based approaches.
ChemSci Pick of the Week (INFOGRAPHIC) –Photodissocation of acetaldehyde occurs via different pathways, including the "roaming" mechanism. Can we study the different reaction pathways by tracking the time evolution of product distributions?
Our ChemSci Pick of the Week describes a metal oxide photocatalyst that can efficiently use sunlight to produce hydrogen from water, which could help tackle environmental issues and resource shortages.
