• Pushing the Boundaries: New dye could open the door to in vivo applications of fluorescence anisotropy

  US scientists have synthesized a polymethine dye that can be used for fluorescence anisotropy imaging in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range, making new in vivo applications of this technique possible. Until now, the method has been limited to the visible part of the spectrum, mainly being used i more

• Copper nanowires enable bendable displays and solar cells

  A team of Duke University chemists has perfected a simple way to make tiny copper nanowires in quantity. The cheap conductors are small enough to be transparent, making them ideal for thin-film solar cells, flat-screen TVs and computers, and flexible displays. "Imagine a foldable iPad," said Benjam more

• Bioengineers Succeed in Producing Plastic Without the use of Fossil Fuels

  A team of pioneering South Korean scientists have succeeded in producing the polymers used for everyday plastics through bioengineering, rather than through the use of fossil fuel based chemicals. This groundbreaking research, which may now allow for the production of environmentally conscious plast more

• Global optimization of clusters using electronic structure methods

  Over the past decade, there has been a significant growth in the development and application of methods for performing global optimization (GO) of cluster and nanoparticle structures using first‐principles electronic structure methods coupled to sophisticated search algorithms. This has in part be more

• Isolation and determination of estrogens in water samples by solid‐phase extraction using molecularly imprinted polymers and HPLC

  Advanced solid‐phase extraction with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) was used in this study. A noncovalent imprinting approach was applied to separate 17β‐estradiol, estriol and estrone from water samples. Polymer material was prepared by bulk polymerization with methacrylic acid as a functio more

• Validated HPTLC method for simultaneous quantification of diterpenoids in Vitex trifolia L.

  Vitex trifolia L. is an important Indian medicinal plant with diverse pharmacological properties. In a recent study, we reported the isolation and antitubercular activity evaluation of three new diterpenoids from its leaves; here we have developed a validated rapid, simple, precise and accurate hi more
