Overview on the current issue of the Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
Angew. Chem. 25/2010: Cells and Micelles
A Thio-Millipede Invasion!
Cysteine-containing polyisocyanides are shown to be versatile nanoplatforms for chromophoric and bioscaffolding
'Oh No!' to ONOO–
A lanthanide-complex-based ratiometric luminescence probe specific for peroxynitrite (ONOO-) has been designed and synthesized.
Industrial Emissions Directive
Cefic suggests greater account of local needs and circumstances are required for better environmental protection.
Swinging Neutrinos
The first direct observation of a tau particle in a muon neutrino beam confirms that neutrinos oscillate and therefore have mass.
Activation of Oxygen by Silicon
First synthesis of dioxasiliranes isolable at room temperature, stabilized by N-heterocyclic carbenes featuring a three-membered SiO2-peroxide ring.
Druggy Parisians
Wastewater analysis in Paris hints at high levels of cocaine abuse in the city but low levels of ecstasy, amphetamines, and opiates.
Sticky Problem Solved
Polyethylene glycol and a polycarbonate of dihydroxyacetone, commonly used in sunless tanning creams, could find use in sealing surgical wounds.
Going Quantum Dotty!
A bioanalytical enzymatic system producing fluorescent nanoparticles employs additional sensitive techniques.
Chemistry In Space
Molecular species have been identified in space. - How did they get there? Maybe dust plays a role in the redox chemistry of space.
