Science communication takes many forms. One very special form remains the annual ‘Dance your PhD’ competition, with this year’s chemistry winner depicting Metal Organic Framework research to rap music.
Researchers from Nijmegen can now experimentally show that macromolecular crowding occurs in mitochondria.
Leiden astronomers find evidence that water on Earth outdates than the Sun.
Researchers at Aarhus University have used cryo-EM to gain a better understanding of the folding process that dictates RNA origami.
Plants lack the ability to develop antibodies against a new virus. British researchers present a new concept: synthetic immune receptors ‘on demand’.
When cyclometallation ligands are used around iron(III), it has an excited state that lasts a thousand times longer.
Groningen researchers have elucidated the polymerisation of polydopamine, which is similar to the substance that mussels use to stick to anything.
The model behind hydrogen bonds and similar complexes is fundamentally flawed.
To preserve their mummies, the ancient Egyptians imported resins from Southeast Asia. An early example of globalisation.
A European consortium is investigating whether it is possible to accelerate the weathering of silicate rocks in a reactor.
If there has been an attack with chemical weapons somewhere, you should be able to see it in the leaves of plants.
