Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

Organic–inorganic hybrid lead halides are explored enthusiastically in light of the versatility of their crystal structures. Here, we report lead halide crystals incorporating 2,2′-bipyridinium (bpy), ...

Trans-fatty acids (TFA) are a major cause of cardiovascular diseases. These harmful fats can accumulate along artery walls, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks.

n-Type polythiophene represents a promising category of n-type polymer thermoelectric materials known for their straightforward structure and scalable synthesis. However, n-type polythiophene often ...

The metasurface is a powerful tool for trace analyte sensing in a label-free manner by amplifying their THz molecular fingerprint signals. However, current technologies are still facing the problems ...

Thalidomide has since been repurposed to treat other conditions, including cancer. Isomers and amino acids Many drugs have the same atoms and bonds but are arranged differently in space. These ...

Physicists are investigating if nuclear isomers could build the world’s most accurate clock or support the next generation of batteries.

Nuclear isomers are rare versions of elements with properties that mystified physicists when first discovered. Isomers are now used in medicine and astronomy, and researchers are set to discover ...
