Tibor Szilvási, University of Alabama, used modeling and machine learning to show how metal-support interactions change the shape of Au nanoparticles under real-world conditions
Walter Thiel Medal winner Felix Plasser, UK, and colleagues studied how molecules in solid organic materials interact, focusing on the influence of π-stacking and explaining under what circumstances their chromophores couple to form H- or J-aggregates
Small inorganic rings from heavy dipnictenes and azides synthesized; enabling unique products such as NHC-stabilized imino-bismuthane and GeBr₂ ring insertion; broadening main-group chemistry and new reactivity
This collection explores the chemistry behind everyday foods and drinks, from flavors and cooking changes to coffee roasting, alcohol digestion, and chocolate production
B. Terzi and W. Teich (LMU Munich) report the first light-sensitive m⁷Gp₄G RNA cap analogs that enable precise, light-controlled regulation of RNA translation
Tonya Vitova, Stefanie Dehnen, and Wim Klopper discuss their study revealing covalent La–Bi interactions within an electron-rich In/Bi cluster, challenging traditional views of lanthanide bonding
Magnus Buchner, Marburg, and his coauthors have synthesized and characterized monocationic tris(pyrazolyl)borate beryllium phosphine complexes
Just in time for summer and the holiday season, open-air exhibitions about Marie Skłodowska-Curie are now on display in Warsaw, Genoa, Pisa, and Padua
