Self-assembling cholesterol-succinic acid-cisplatinum II-based nanoparticles display high antitumor activity and reduce nephrotoxicity

Making Cisplatin Nanoparticles

Roots of our Practice of Science
Banska Stiavnica, Banská Štavnica, Schemnitz, or Selmecbánya, a town with a lively political history and groundbreaking for science

Glowing Fingerprints
Researchers make latent fingerprints visible with help from electrochemiluminescence

Assembly of Gold Nanoparticles
One-dimensional assembly of gold nanoparticles (see picture) is achieved by a sphere-to-cylinder transformation of polymer shells

Self-Inflicted Asymmetry
Crystallization-induced asymmetric synthesis of nonracemic platinum(IV) polysulfide tris(chelate) complexes

Hydrogen Generation with Visible Light
Iridium complexes coordinated to coumarin dyes perform well in directing sunlight energy for producing hydrogen from water

Single-Crystal Manganese Sulfide Microboxes
MnS microboxes, which act as an anode material for lithium ion batteries, are synthesized by simple H2S gas sulfidation approach
