UK chemists warn of funding crisis(22 Oct 2008) Sharp drop in grant numbers hits young scientists and blue skies research Senior researchers have warned that a sharp drop in the number of research grants awarded this year risks damaging UK chemistry. Young chemists applying for first-time grants have suffered most under widespread changes to the funding strategy of the ...
Chemical tag to track proteins in cells(01 Jul 2008) Native Chemical Ligation (NCL) is a reaction that takes place between a molecule containing a thioester group and a polypeptide that has a cysteine amino acid at its N-terminal. The reaction takes place in aqueous solution and mild conditions and is ...
Blue dye could hold the key to super processing power(30 Nov 2007) A technique for controlling the magnetic properties of a commonly used blue dye could revolutionise computer processing power A technique for controlling the magnetic properties of a commonly used blue dye could revolutionise computer processing power, according to research published recently in Advanced Materials. Scientists have demonstrated that they can control the ...
Imaging quantum entanglement(25 Sep 2007) An international team including scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) published findings in the journal 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' (PNAS) demonstrating the dramatic effects of quantum mechanics in a simple ...
Molecules Dress for Success(02 Oct 2006) Suitanes: mechanically interlocked molecules An enormous challenge to science is the generation of two individual molecules that are not chemically bound to each other but are mechanically wedged together to form a tight link. A team of British and American researchers have now developed a ...
