f-Element Chemistry is the topic of the June EurJIC Cluster Issue edited by Gerd Meyer, University of Colone.
Clusters' Last Stand
Light Iron for Hydrogen
Iron catalyst shows hydrogen generation is possible under visible light irradiation and at ambient temperatures.
Secret of Herpesviruses Revealed
Histine modifications allow the Kaposi Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) to switch between latent and active states.
Silver and Gold
Visible-light catalysis, using silver chloride nanowires decorated with gold nanoparticles, may decompose organic molecules in polluted water
Cell By Cell
Manipulation of nanowires could lead to delivery of molecular doses of biologically active chemicals to individual cells.
Industry Grants
Cefic announces a one-stop-shop for information on EU funding for the chemical industry.
Prebiotic Soup
Guanine, adenine, and hypoxanthine can be produced at lower temperatures than previously reported thanks to UV photons.
Drinks All ‘Round
Distinguishing genuine brandies from imposters, or identifying a particular brand requires a fine nose – or a GC-MS.
Leading Question
A rapid and inexpensive way to test for lead in paint without sending samples back to the laboratory has been developed.
Georg Schwedt Awarded Prize
GDCh award prizes to authors who communicate an understanding of chemistry to the general public.
