Cyclic cell-penetrating peptides are able to enter cells and deliver cargo molecules without being positively charged, previously assumed to be a prerequisite for inducing endocytosis.
An organic scintillator with high imaging resolution and a low detection limit is fabricated by using heavy atoms to increase the X-ray absorption of thermally activated delayed fluorescence chromophores.
Pressure-adapted organisms are able to survive in the depths of the ocean because of trimethylamine N-oxide-assisted hydrogen bonding between water molecules.
Remarkably simple conditions can convert fac-Ir(iii) arylpyridine complexes to the less thermodynamically stable mer-isomers. The organoiridium complexes are considered highly effective luminescent molecular switches.
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on oligomeric linkers can be used to understand materials properties of intermediates between pure MOFs and polymeric MOFs.
A computational framework has been developed to search for molecules with the right properties to make them successful active species in redox flow batteries.
A new proposal for the origin of asymmetry and, by extension, the origin of life uses spin-polarized electrons to induce enantioselective chemistry in the prebiotic world.
