When function follows form: Semiconductors that behave like metals and superconductors
Researchers tune the properties of a known semiconducting material so that it behaves like a metal, with some superconducting behavior, for more efficient electronic devices.
A fail-safe to keep batteries from catching fire
A “spillway” for electrons could keep lithium metal batteries from catching fire.
An exoplanet that rains iron
ESO telescope oberves an exoplanet 690 light years away where night and day surface temperature differences cause iron to rain from the sky.
Rethinking plastics production and recycling
A new route to synthesize plastics not only moves away from fossil fuels but enhances the likelihood of recycling.
Making puffer fish toxin in a flask: Total synthesis of tetrodotoxin
Scientists create a new route for the total synthesis of tetrodotoxin, a molecule in puffer fish that has promising medicinal benefits, such as pain relief.
Environmentally-friendly polypeptide synthesis
Replacing highly toxic phosgene with diphenyl carbonate in polypeptide synthesis.
Early Earth may have been a waterworld
The study takes advantage of a quirk of hydrothermal chemistry to suggest that the surface of Earth was likely covered by a global ocean 3.2 billion years ago.
Study finds jargon kills people’s interest in science
Highly technical language alienates and frustrates readers. Even when specialized terms are defined, the damage is done
Autonomous chemical synthesis
AI is being leveraged to provide machines with the capacity to match or even outperform humans in many endeavors. So what does this mean for the synthetic chemist?
