- Shedding light on the synthesis of sugars before the origin of life
Pentoses are essential carbohydrates in the metabolism of modern lifeforms, but their availability during early Earth is unclear since these molecules are unstable. A new study led by the Earth... - Doubly magic oxygen isotope provides new clues to the strong nuclear force
A first observation of the volatile atomic nucleus oxygen-28 sheds new light on the strong nuclear force that is central to all visible matter in the universe. Chalmers researchers have contributed... - A nanocapsulation strategy for facile analysis and processing of insoluble aromatic polymers
Polymers composed of aromatic frameworks are attracting increasing attention for the construction of highly functional materials. So far, their application has been limited by their virtual insolub... - Novel tin-based metal-organic frameworks for reducing carbon dioxide to formate
Researchers from Tokyo Tech have developed a tin-based metal-organic framework (MOF) that can photocatalytically reduce carbon dioxide into formate under visible light. The tin-based MOF exhibited ... - Electronic nose: sensing the odor molecules on graphene surface
Graphene-based olfactory sensors that can detect odor molecules based on the design of peptide sequences were recently demonstrated by researchers at Tokyo Tech. The findings indicated that graphen... - Open-source Library for Creating Polymer Property Databases
Physical property databases for polymers are now much easier to build from molecular dynamics simulations thanks to RadonPy, a new open-source library developed by researchers at the Institute of S...
- Converting CO2 to formic acid
Photoreduction of CO2 into transportable fuel like formic acid (HCOOH) is a great way of dealing with CO2's rising levels in the atmosphere. To aid in this mission, a research team from Tokyo Tech ... - Potential key missing link protein bridging eukaryotes and prokaryotes
All modern organisms fall into two classes, eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Eukaryotes (from the Greek meaning "true kernel") have a cell nucleus that harbours most of the cell's genetic information an... - Indoor-active photocatalyst for antiviral coating against various variant types of SARS-CoV-2
Photocatalyst made using a combination of titanium dioxide and copper oxide (CuxO) nanoclusters inactivates various variant types of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Scientists in Tokyo Institute ... - Building precise smaller nanoparticles with templates
Despite rapid advances of nanoscience, the properties of quasi-sub-nanomaterials with structures falling between molecules and solids remain unrevealed. However, researchers from Tokyo Institute 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 ... - A New Catalyst to Generate Hydrogen from Ammonia at Low Temperatures
Ammonia, a carbon-free resource can be split into nitrogen and hydrogen gas with the help of metal catalysts like Nickel (Ni). However, these reactions often require very high operating temperature... - Visualizing Molecular Motion of Substituted 9-Phosphaanthracene
Radical reactivity of aromatic molecules 9-phosphaanthracenes is difficult to analyze using conventional techniques due to their short lifetimes. To overcome this analytical hurdle, a team of scien...
- 4-billion-year-old nitrogen-containing organic molecules discovered in Martian Meteorites
Using advanced techniques, scientists have detected organic compounds containing nitrogen in Martian meteorites which were ejected from Mars' surface ~ 15 million years ago, proving that evidence f... - Fighting cancer with slime chemistry and BNCT
Expectations are growing for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), a new cancer treatment, with few side effects, that combines thermal neutron irradiation and drug delivery. In BNCT, drugs are use... - Synthesizing a superatom: opening doors to their use as substitutes for elemental atoms
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and ERATO Japan Science and Technology have demonstrated how superatoms of a desired valency, stability, and volume can be synthesized in a ... - Palladium-based intermetallic electride improves the efficiency of carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions
Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have developed an electride material composed of yttrium and palladium (Y3Pd2) as a catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. These rea...
