InternationalNecessary 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.
-
InternationalFood fight
Harmful bacteria? Don’t be too quick to judge, because sometimes toxins can also be protective.
-
InternationalHey 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.
-
InternationalDNA diamonds
You can create extraordinary photonic crystals out of ‘tetrapods’ using DNA origami with unprecedented precision.
-
InternationalSensitive channels
Surprisingly little is known about the molecular basis of our sense of touch. A newly discovered ion channel fills in the picture.
-
InternationalChildren’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.
-
InternationalJungle in a flask
With a little imagination, you can see a complete jungle in this picture, with large ferns and grass on the ground.
-
InternationalGhost of Mesosphere Present
Stratospheric discharges are not only beautiful, they are also the subject of research into what makes them so colourful.
-
InternationalBlue bead parade
The audience award of the ChemistryViews 2023 Photo Competition went to this atmospheric image of blue calcium alginate ‘beads’.
-
InternationalPicture perfect tubes
Maciej Majdecki won first prize in the ChemistryViews Photo Competition 2023 with this collection of beautifully coloured NMR tubes.
-
InternationalMolecular jellyfish
Serendipity is a thread running through many extraordinary discoveries in the history of chemistry. These ‘molecular jellyfish’ are no exception.
-
InternationalIron 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.
-
InternationalThreads of beauty
Analytical polymer chemistry can be quite colourful, as shown in this X-ray diffraction pattern of a nylon fibre.
-
InternationalAbout the birds and the genes
Chinese researchers show which gene in monkeyflowers has been altered so that the flowers no longer produce yellow pigment.
-
InternationalSynthetic painting
Organic chemistry is not always exciting when it comes to using colour: white powders, colourless liquids. But it can also produce beautiful pictures.
-
InternationalWhat does a brain ‘sound’ like?
We know ultrasounds as grainy grey pictures, but with the latest imaging techniques, they can look like this.

InternationalTraitor macrophages light up
Floris van Dalen, PhD student at RadboudUMC, took this image of mouse macrophages acting as a model for TAMs.
-
InternationalEnlightening nerves
Most biological cells are not very special to see unless you pass some fluorescent compounds through them. These brain cells also have an unusual shape.
-
InternationalSoap bubble solar cell
You can see solar panels appearing on more and more rooftops. But Saudi scientists printed a solar cell on a bubble.
-
InternationalChem brûlée
Most mixtures that chemists create in the lab may not always look special or appetising. But every once in a while, you would be tempted to take a bite of your product.
