New review on nanoscale metal–organic frameworks (NMOFs) as MRI contrast agents highlighted by EurJIC
An in-depth look at a selected research article and its significance.
Smaller and Sharper
Written in Red
New red-light emitting carbopyronine dyes for optical microscopy and nanoscopy technology developed
Colorful Warning
New rhodium complex displays ability to selectively detect CO at levels suitable for use in warning devices
Blue Bananas
Unique blue fluorescent chlorophyll decomposition products in banana leaves not mere detoxification products
Scaffold Synthesis
The enantioselective synthesis of alkaloids, using a tricyclic (R)-phenylglycinol-derived lactam scaffold is reported.
Long Fuse
George Whitesides describes how dots of salt can be used to transmit information for times electronics or batteries fail.
Dot Products
Enzymatic generation of quantum dots could lead to news ways of analyzing milk by fluorescence spectroscopy.
Self-Assembling Devices
Design strategy with side-chain incompatibility provides promise for the realization of much greater photoconducting output.
Layered Footballs
A new variant of fullerenes has been made: a two-dimensional fullerene with layers that acts like a metal
Improving Kinase Inhibitors
Resorcylic acid lactone (RAL) representing a unique pharmacophore was edited to improve the properties and diversify the scaffold.
