Breakthrough in the production of three-dimensional molecular structures
New dimensions in organic chemistry through light-mediated synthesis
07-Apr-2021
A major goal of organic and medicinal chemistry in recent decades has been the rapid synthesis of three-dimensional molecules for the development of new drugs. These drug candidates exhibit a variety of improved properties compared to predominantly flat molecular structures, which are reflected ...
Chemists create the brightest-ever fluorescent materials
11-Aug-2020
By formulating positively charged fluorescent dyes into a new class of materials called small-molecule ionic isolation lattices (SMILES), a compound's brilliant glow can be seamlessly transferred to a solid, crystalline state, researchers report August 6 in the journal Chem. The advance overcomes ...
Building a better salt trap: Scientists synthesize a molecular 'cage' to trap chloride
New molecule designed at Indiana University could help reduce growing level of salt contaminants flowing into freshwater streams and lakes across the US
31-May-2019
Indiana University researchers have created a powerful new molecule for the extraction of salt from liquid. The work has potential to help increase the amount of drinkable water on Earth. Built using chemical bonds previously regarded as too weak, the new molecule is about ten billion times ...
Neutrons measured with unprecedented precision using a 'magneto-gravitational trap'
17-May-2018
A study led in part by physicists at the Indiana University Center for the Exploration of Energy and Matter could provide new insight into the composition of the universe immediately after the Big Bang -- as well as improve calculations used to predict the life span of stars and describe the ...
Detection of little-known flame retardant in the environment
18-Apr-2018
Chemists at Indiana University have published research findings on their discovery of a new and relatively unknown flame retardant in the environment. Their study is the first to detect the potentially toxic chemical in North America. The chemical, called TTBP-TAX, is part of a new class of ...
New technique that could speed drug development
05-Dec-2016
Synthesizing useful new compounds is what pharmaceutical discovery and development is all about. Researchers at the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis have devised a method to substantially speed up the process. The IUPUI chemists have developed and tested a ...
Scientists discover 'supramolecule' that could help reduce nuclear, agricultural waste
10-Oct-2016
Indiana University researchers have reported the first definitive evidence for a new molecular structure with potential applications to the safe storage of nuclear waste and reduction of chemicals that contaminate water and trigger large fish kills. The study provides experimental proof for the ...
Researchers discover that human hair and nails can tell toxic secrets
04-Mar-2016
Chemicals used as flame retardants that are potentially harmful to humans are found in hair, toenails and fingernails, according to new research from Indiana University. The discovery of an easily available biomarker should ease the way for further research to determine the human impact of ...
IU physicist leads discovery of new particle: '4-flavored' tetraquark
04-Mar-2016
Research led by Indiana University physicist Daria Zieminska has resulted in the first detection of a new form of elementary particle: the "four-flavored" tetraquark. Zieminska, a senior scientist in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Physics, is a lead member of the ...
Chemists craft molecule that self-assembles into flower-shaped crystalline patterns
02-Dec-2015
Designing new materials at the molecular level is a key goal of the U.S. government's Materials Genome Initiative, a project launched in 2011 to reduce the cost, and speed the creation, of these materials. As recipients of funds from the NSF's Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our ...
