The first metamaterial to display optical properties accross the visible region

First Optical Metamaterial

Breathing Benzene
Derivative current-density maps reveal how so-called breathing modes in the benzene ring cause aromaticity and antiaromaticity to ebb and flow

Sensitive Detection of NO
Detection of NO at concentrations as low as 0.8 ppm is possible with MoS2 multilayer films

Michel R. Gagné, Andreas Kirschning, Fernando P. Cossio, and Jurriaan Huskens are interviewed this month

New Route to Chiral Amides
One-pot method generates chiral amides from secondary alcohols with retention of stereochemistry and provides evidence for non-planar carbocations

Third Quarter Results 2011
Summary of the third quarter results from the chemical industry which saw solid revenue growth in a difficult environment

P4 Activation with Silylenes
Activation of white phosphorus with silylenes gives two unusual Si–P compounds that could be precursors for semiconducting materials

Gold Activators for Platinum Catalysts
A monolayer of platinum can be deposited on nanoscopic gold particles prisms to activate and enhance the catalytic properties of the platinum

Long Term Health Risks of Nanoparticles
New study shows we’ve been exposed to nanoparticles for longer that we thought and that size doesn't matter

New Method for Adding Alkyl Groups
New method for adding methyl groups to aldehydes gives the highest enantioselectivities and yields reported and can be used for longer alkyl chains
