Ru-based dye and Ti nanoparticles combine to give solar cells of high efficiency and a variety of colors

All the Colors of the Sun

Rules for a Brighter Future
Elucidation of design rules for iridium-based emitters could lead to improvements in OLEDS

Lighting the Way
Chelation enhanced fluorescence of amino acids helps illuminate kinase activity in cancer cells

SABIC To Utilize Renewable Feedstock Technology
SABIC signs alcohol-technology licensing agreement with Lurgi GmbH

Ensuring Bite-Free Picnics
Understanding the chemistry behind insect repellants could help chemists design alternatives to DEET and its ilk

Artificial Sniffer Dogs
Building a sensor with an "artificial nose" – using fluorescent compounds and DNA – could make sniffer dogs redundant

Halogen Sense
Enzymatic fiber-optic biosensor could be used as a continuous in situ monitoring device for halogenated environmental pollutants

Sieve for Gases
New MOF of interest for industrially important gas separation procedures due to narrow pores and high selectivities

Copper Column
Inclusion of Cu-based MOF into the HPLC silica stationary phase using new synthesis method gives good separation

How do Bacteria Smell?
Bacteria are able to sense airborne volatile metabolites produced by neighboring bacterial cultures and respond in a coordinated way
