InternationalFinding the gap in electrochemical processes
Scientists at Utrecht University have developed an optical method for visualising electrochemical processes at the nanoscale. The technique uses nanogaps and scattered light to track reactions in attolitre volumes without labelling, as the researchers demonstrate in PNAS.

InternationalSmall molecule transport of copper(I) effective against cancer
For the first time, it has been possible to transport Cu⁺ through cell membranes using a small biomimetic molecule, without the aid of proteins. According to an international team in JACS, this completely unexpected development has the potential to become a potent anti-cancer strategy.
