海角社区 Chemistry paper chosen as ChemSci Pick of the Week
A 海角社区-led publication entitled "Coordination-cage-templated multivalent glycan arrays: effects of mixed-glycan composition and chain length on lectin binding" has been chosen as ChemSci Pick of the Week.
Scientists create rare material that could pave the way for faster, greener computer memory
海角社区 Chemistry researchers have created a new material combining two properties, magnetism and electrical polarisation, that scientists have struggled to bring together for decades – and crucially, it works at close to room temperature.
Scientists uncover new 鈥榠n-between鈥� materials for solar fuels and batteries
Researchers have identified previously unknown materials, including a new form of a widely studied clean-energy material, by carefully controlling and tracking how molecular precursors break down during heating.
Interface Polymers announces the successful scale-up of Polarfin庐 Compatibiliser production, from their Visakhapatnam pilot plant.
Chemists receive prestigious EPSRC Open Fellowships
Dr Fredrik Schaufelberger and Dr Alex Baker have been awarded exciting EPSRC Open Fellowships to progress their research over the next five years.
Switching on photoreactivity in Ti4-oxo clusters by increasing the size of 1,n-alkane diolate bridging ligands
An article from the Pike Group has been published in Chemical Science. In this study, the photooxidation of diolate ligands coordinated to titanium-oxo clusters is investigated.
Copper-based anticancer activity
Alongside collaborators at Durham University, the Lord Research Group has discovered copper-based compounds that not only exhibit high anticancer activity but also localise in the endoplasmic reticulum—an unusual finding for metal-based drugs.
Magnets propel scientists towards more efficient oxygen production in space.
University of 海角社区, ZARM and Georgia Tech have hit upon a breakthrough in space life support systems thanks to the magnetic properties of water.
Ce-oxo clusters: towards improved photocatalytic processes
Ultrasmall CeO2 with exceptional surface area and atom economy can be just as useful (if not better!) in photocatalytic processes than larger nanoparticles.
Mechanical bonds make lanthanides shine
In a new study, Fredrik Schaufelberger and his team from the University of 海角社区 and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have shown that mechanically interlocked molecules can be used to induce this lanthanide luminescence.
