By leveraging the concept of chirality, or the difference of a shape from its mirror image, EPFL scientists have engineered ...

Shine on: how do materials emit polarized light? Many materials emit light in ways that encode information in its polarization. According to researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ...

The mineral selected for this study, calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), is sparingly soluble in aqueous media and poses challenges for removal once formed. Using a combination of in situ techniques ...

A dinuclear copper complex that binds tightly and selectively to oxalate over other dicarboxylates like malonate, succinate, and glutarate has been developed. This receptor can be used for fluorescent ...

Calcium Oxalate Found in many genera of plants, calcium oxalate is a water-insoluble salt that forms bundles of needlelike crystals called raphides. Contact with moisture causes plant cells to ...
