Tandem catalysis by nanocrystals with two distinct metal–metal oxide interfaces could be used for artificial photosynthesis

Two Layers for Artificial Photosynthesis

Quicker Catalyst Optimization
General method for screening palladium-based cross-coupling reactions speeds up catalyst optimization

Probing Intracellular Viscosity
Measuring intracellular viscosity could explain how molecules and signals are transported in diseases such as cystic fibrosis

Restriction to Renewable Feedstock Yields Lifted
Lignin oil yield no longer restricted to 23 % — Over 85 % yield achievable when boric acid capping agent is used

Speeding Up Evolution
Fast-replicating bacterial viruses, phages, have been harnessed to accelerate the evolution of biomolecules in the laboratory

Toxicity of Cr-Nanoparticles
Chromium nanoparticles show toxicity similar to that of hexavalent chromium

One Step to Graphene Composites
Graphene–metal nanocomposites normally made by multistep techniques can now be made in one step by electrodeposition

Protein Engineering for Intelligent Biomaterials
Biologically inspired material responds to multiple stimuli and has both upper and lower critical solution temperatures

Death Metal!
Ruthenium complexes selectively target and kill cancer cells over healthy cells

Solving the Material and Energy Challenges of the Future
Catalysts are used in the production of everything in our modern lives and will play a large role in our future
