“#Researchers develop new X-ray detection technology” A researcher holds a flexible X-ray scintillator developed by Professor Biwu Ma and his research team. The team has developed a new material that could be used to make flexible X-ray detectors that are less harmful to the environment and cost less than existing technologies. Credit: Photo courtesy of…
“#Researchers propose strategy for catalytic regiodivergent hydrosilylation of isoprene” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Controlling the regioselectivity has been a fundamental issue in organic synthesis due to the possible formation of a set of regioisomers in chemical reactions. Organosilanes are widely used in silicon rubbers, paper releasing coatings, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Catalytic hydrosilylation of alkenes represents…
“#Researchers dramatically downsize technology for fingerprinting drugs and other chemicals” Schematic showing the steps for creating the optical waveguide. Credit: Texas A&M University College of Engineering As new infectious diseases emerge and spread, one of the best shots against novel pathogens is finding new medicines or vaccines. But before drugs can be used as potential…
“#Scientists develop air quality sensor that could save the lives of babies and asthma sufferers” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Scientists at the University of Sussex have collaborated with an Oxford company, M-SOLV, and a team of scientists from across Europe to develop a highly sensitive and accurate nitrogen dioxide (NO2) sensor with life-saving potential in…
“#New catalyst efficiently turns carbon dioxide into useful fuels and chemicals” Credit: CC0 Public Domain As levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide continue to climb, scientists are looking for new ways of breaking down CO2 molecules to make useful carbon-based fuels, chemicals and other products. Now, a team of Brown University researchers has found a way…
“#Chemists discover way to make new nitrogen products ‘out of thin air’” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A nifty move with nitrogen has brought the world one step closer to creating a range of useful products—from dyes to pharmaceuticals—out of thin air. The discovery comes from a team of Yale chemists who found a way to…
“#Researchers discover new electrocatalyst for turning carbon dioxide into liquid fuel” Artistic rendering of electrocatalytic process for conversion of carbon dioxide and water into ethanol. Credit: Credit: Argonne National Laboratory Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and form the backbone of many industrial processes. For example, they are essential in transforming heavy oil into gasoline or…
“#Using artificial intelligence to smell the roses” Anandasankar Ray is a professor of molecular, cell and systems biology at UC Riverside. Credit: L. Duka. A pair of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, has used machine learning to understand what a chemical smells like—a research breakthrough with potential applications in the food flavor and…
“#Laser techniques and photochemistry find elusive molecular building block” Molecule and scheme courtesy of Cheng Zhu and Ralf I. Kaiser. Credit: Gerd Altmann A key molecular building block in phosphorus chemistry has been elusive, until now. University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers have discovered a simple and versatile way to identify the Hückel aromatic cyclotriphosphazene…
