EnglishOrganic synthesis goes golden
Working with dyes is asking for pretty pictures. While synthesising fluorescent tracers, Maarten van Meerbeek took this picture of a Cy5 dye.

EnglishNecessary neurons
Noses are as diverse as the species they belong to. Ants use antennae to detect and process olfactory signals. But without the Orco protein, the development of the required neurons is halted.
-
EnglishFood fight
Harmful bacteria? Don’t be too quick to judge, because sometimes toxins can also be protective.
-
EnglishHey Google, what does a brain look like?
A team from Google Research and Harvard University has published the largest ever dataset of neural connections in a fragment of the human brain.

EnglishDNA diamonds
You can create extraordinary photonic crystals out of ‘tetrapods’ using DNA origami with unprecedented precision.
-
EnglishSensitive channels
Surprisingly little is known about the molecular basis of our sense of touch. A newly discovered ion channel fills in the picture.
-
EnglishChildren’s experiment for adults
It is a popular experiment to introduce children to science: staining a rose with food colouring. An American student did it with fluorescent dye.
-
EnglishJungle in a flask
With a little imagination, you can see a complete jungle in this picture, with large ferns and grass on the ground.
-
EnglishGhost of Mesosphere Present
Stratospheric discharges are not only beautiful, they are also the subject of research into what makes them so colourful.
-
EnglishBlue bead parade
The audience award of the ChemistryViews 2023 Photo Competition went to this atmospheric image of blue calcium alginate ‘beads’.
-
EnglishPicture perfect tubes
Maciej Majdecki won first prize in the ChemistryViews Photo Competition 2023 with this collection of beautifully coloured NMR tubes.
-
EnglishMolecular jellyfish
Serendipity is a thread running through many extraordinary discoveries in the history of chemistry. These ‘molecular jellyfish’ are no exception.
-
EnglishIron embroidery
Source: Ludovic Troian-Gautier, C&EN Nature offers the most beautiful crystal structures. But beauty is certainly not absent from the lab, as shown by these iron(II) photosensitisers.
-
EnglishThreads of beauty
Analytical polymer chemistry can be quite colourful, as shown in this X-ray diffraction pattern of a nylon fibre.
-
EnglishAbout the birds and the genes
Chinese researchers show which gene in monkeyflowers has been altered so that the flowers no longer produce yellow pigment.
-
EnglishSynthetic painting
Organic chemistry is not always exciting when it comes to using colour: white powders, colourless liquids. But it can also produce beautiful pictures.
-
EnglishWhat does a brain ‘sound’ like?
We know ultrasounds as grainy grey pictures, but with the latest imaging techniques, they can look like this.
