- A new lexicon in the age of microbiome research
Over the past 20 years, life science research has come to realise that all living beings - from the simplest animal and plant organisms to humans - live in close association with a large number of ...
- Plant from plastics: Bio-based Polymers can be transformed into fertilizers
Bioplastics can be chemically recycled into nitrogen-rich fertilizers in a facile and environmentally friendly way, as recently demonstrated by scientists from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo ... - Understanding COVID-19 using next generation innovative, interdisciplinary methodologies
A new JRC study on SARS-CoV-2 examines the existing literature on how this coronavirus enters and infects the human body, exploring how scientists are currently using new innovative technologies ba...
- A new method for the functionalization of graphene
An international research team involving Professor Federico Rosei of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has demonstrated a novel process to modify the structure and propertie...
- Arfvedson-Schlenk Prize for outstanding achievements in the field of lithium chemistry
Electrochemist and Materials Scientists Prof. Martin Winter from Münster University has been awarded the Arfvedson-Schlenk Prize for his outstanding scientific achievements in the field of lithium ... - World's deepest waters becoming 'ultimate sink' for plastic waste
For the first time, scientists found microplastic ingestion by organisms in the Mariana trench and five other areas with a depth of more than 6,000 metres, prompting them to conclude "it is highly ...
- Top scientists apply Brexit pressure
35 Nobel Laureates and Fields Medalists, including Venki Ramakrishnan, President of the Royal Society, have written to Prime Minister May and President Juncker calling for a Brexit deal on science ... - Nanoscale solution to 'produced water' problem
Oil and water tend to separate, but they mix well enough to form stable oil-in-water emulsions in produced water from oil reservoirs to become a problem. Rice University scientists have developed a... - Insight into catalysis through novel study of X-ray absorption spectroscopy
An international team has made a breakthrough at BESSY II. For the first time, they succeeded in investigating electronic states of a transition metal in detail and drawing reliable conclusions on ... - Caging greenhouse gases
Porous materials could be used in everything from drug delivery to capturing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. A new study looks at how to make these materials even more efficient, bringing the... - A new way to detect bacterial activity using gold nanoparticles
"Bacteria exist everywhere in an average person's daily life, and they usually develop into biofilms - a society of bacteria," explains Dr Huangxian Ju, director of the State Key Laboratory of Anal... - On the trail of chemical bonds
Professor Paul Popelier is a computational and theoretical chemist at the University of Manchester. He spoke about a chemical concept called bond order, and explains how his research in this area w... - Surprising new behaviour in gels
"Imagine putting a brick next to a stone and finding that the brick was moving into the stone, and vice versa" - this is how Professor David Smith of the University of York describes his latest pie... - Accelerating analysis for designer drugs
Designer drugs - drugs that are similar in effect, but slightly different in structure, to existing drugs - are an increasing problem for regulators and lawmakers, and a real threat to society. The... - What happens when nanoparticles collide
Helmets that do a better job of preventing concussions and other brain injuries. Earphones that protect people from damaging noises. Devices that convert "junk" energy from airport runway vibration...
- New chemistry preprint server for the global chemistry community
ChemRxiv, a new chemistry preprint server for the global chemistry community, is now available in a fully functioning Beta version for use and feedback by researchers. The Beta launch has been u... - Nuclease-resistant hybrid nanoflowers
An eco-friendly method to synthesize DNA-copper nanoflowers with high load efficiencies, low cytotoxicity, and strong resistance against nucleases has been developed by Professor Hyun Gyu Park in t...
- Harnessing the possibilities of the nanoworld
The laws of thermodynamics govern the behaviour of large, bulk materials in the macro world, while quantum mechanics describes behaviour of particles at the other extreme, in the world of single at...
- Laser measurements show: Pollen influences optical properties of the atmosphere
Pollen reflects more sunlight than previously known, and makes up to one third of the total amount of aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Aerosol particles influence optical depth which provides a... - New fluorescent fingerprint tag aims to increase IDs from 'hidden' fingerprints on bullets and knives
A new way of detecting and visualizing fingerprints from crime scenes using colour-changing fluorescent films could lead to higher confidence identifications from latent (hidden) fingerprints on kn...
- Ötzi's blood detected - 5,000 year old red blood cells discovered
His DNA has been decoded; samples from his stomach and intestines have allowed us to reconstruct his very last meal. The circumstances of his violent death appear to have been explained. However, w...
- British chemist recognized as leader in mass spectrometry
The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) announce Carol V. Robinson, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford, UK, as...
- InChI makes chemical structural formulae on the Internet visible to all search engines
Chemical associations, scientific publishers and FIZ CHEMIE are involved in an international trust for the dissemination and development of a standardized identification for chemical structures on ...
