Versatile solvent-free method for functionalising carbon nanotubes
(20 Aug 2010)
Carbon nanotubes can be functionalised on a large scale more cleanly and efficiently than before, improving their commercial viability for engineering, catalysis and bionanotechnology.Milo Shaffer and colleagues have exploited existing surface oxide ...

Biogenetically inspired approach to alkaloid family
(20 Aug 2010)
An entire family of marine alkaloids that show potent anticancer activity and potential for treating Alzheimer’s disease has been synthesised by US chemists.Mohammad Movassaghi and colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, were ...

Wet weather coatings
(20 Aug 2010)
Ever wished that your waterproof jacket could actively remove water from the inside? Now, scientists in Australia and the US have coated a fabric to do just that by transferring water exclusively in one direction. Tong Lin colleagues coated a ...

Non-covalent chiral organocatalysis uses water as a solvent
(26 Jul 2010)
The first example of Brønsted acid asymmetric catalysis in aqueous solution is reported by Magnus Rueping and Thomas Theissman at Aachen University, Germany.Using a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst Rueping demonstrates highly enantioselective ...

Cobalt porphyrin catalysts could improve hydrogen fuel cells
(26 Jul 2010)
Only a single metal centre is needed to catalyse the reduction of oxygen to produce water, according to researchers in the US.Daniel Nocera and colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have shown for the first time that single centre ...

Donut-shaped structures could lead to self-cleaning surfaces
(19 Jul 2010)
A straightforward method for making films of doughnut-shaped (toroidal) structures could lead to improved smart materials, such as self-cleaning surfaces and scaffolds for biological sensors. Ordered patterns of the structures can by formed by ...

Gas separation heats up
(29 Jun 2010)
A temperature-responsive porous compound that can selectively separate molecules has been reported by Japanese scientists. Susumu Kitagawa, at Japan Science and Technology Agency, Kyoto, and colleagues made a new porous coordination polymer with ...
-
Cycloadditions go with the crowd
(28 Jun 2010)
A new mechanism for the control of cycloaddition stereochemistry by a well known chiral auxiliary has been discovered. The findings may prompt organic chemists to rethink their synthetic routes to achieve the product they want.Cycloadditions are ...

Phosphoproteins no longer foil mass spectrometry
(25 Jun 2010)
Commercial aluminium foil could be used to help scientists understand more about important biological pathways. Hubert Girault, at the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne, Switzerland, and colleagues used the foil to extract multi-phosphorylated ...

Ironing out materials for gas storage and separations
(22 Jun 2010)
An iron-based porous solid that can store hydrogen and capture carbon dioxide, potentially leading to greener energy and cleaner air, has been made by US scientists.Jeffrey Long, at the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues made a ...
