Test your knowledge of bioluminescence! This fascinating natural phenomenon occurs when living organisms produce light through chemical reactions

French chemists capture and study long-sought di-n-butylcalcium, showing it can perform useful reactions when kept ice-cold

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

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

Annual symposium, established for over three decades, provides insights into current developments and serves as a key event for interdisciplinary exchange of experience
