Spirocycle Turns Sulfur Into a Multicentred Catalyst Through Through-Space
6+ min ago (614+ words) Chemists have long relied on a single trick to make the inert atoms of the p-block of the periodic table behave like reactive metals: bend them out of shape....
DartUniFrac Brings Megascale Computing to Microbiome Diversity Analysis
56+ min ago (512+ words) Researchers have introduced DartUniFrac, a new software tool designed to carry out UniFrac-based microbiome comparisons at a scale that was previously impractical....
Engineered Bacterial Teams Turn Sunlight and CO2 Into 1-Butanol
1+ hour, 19+ min ago (350+ words) Scientists at Uppsala University have taken a significant step toward a long-sought goal in industrial biotechnology: using sunlight and carbon dioxide to feed engineered microbes that churn out valuable chemicals. In a study published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Stamatina…...
Atomic Swap in Two-Dimensional Nitrides Unlocks Five New Water-Splitting
1+ hour, 19+ min ago (506+ words) A single-atom substitution could transform one of the most exciting families of two-dimensional materials from a laboratory curiosity into a working engine for solar fuels....
Flower-Powered Carbon Doped With Manganese Boosts Supercapacitors and Solar
2+ hour, 4+ min ago (55+ words) Researchers in India have transformed the delicate purple-and-white flowers of Bauhinia variegata, the mountain ebony tree, into a high-performance carbon electrode material that works in two very different clean-energy devices at once. In a study published in the Springer journal…...
Microbes Turn Renewable Electricity and CO2 Into Valuable Chemicals
2+ hour, 8+ min ago (696+ words) Scientists at Pusan National University have published a comprehensive review showing that microorganisms wired directly to electrical circuits could become the backbone of a carbon-negative chemical industry. In a paper in the journal Advances in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, Chang…...
New Biohacker Company Promises Unicorns. What’s the Catch?
6+ hour, 53+ min ago (432+ words) Unicorns, dragons, pixies, and the like are the stuff of kids' stories, or at least they should be. But now a new Texas startup, a bioengineering firm, The Embryo Corporation, is looking at the possibility of producing these creatures for…...
Protein Assembly, Not Abundance, Explains Why Cells Behave So Differently
3+ hour, 13+ min ago (689+ words) For decades, biologists have treated protein abundance as the closest available proxy for what a cell is actually doing. Measure how much of each protein a cell produces, the reasoning went, and you have a reasonable snapshot of its functional…...
Stashed at the Speckle’s Edge: Hidden RNA Stockpile Splices in Sync as
5+ hour, 2+ min ago (98+ words) Deep inside the nucleus of every human cell, a quiet stockpile of genetic messages sits waiting for its moment. A new study published in Nature Cell Biology reveals that a large class of incompletely processed RNA molecules is not scattered…...
Chemists Deploy Palladium to Switch Off and On a Key Amino Acid in Living
5+ hour, 44+ min ago (703+ words) Phenylalanine rarely gets top billing in discussions of molecular biology, yet this unassuming aromatic amino acid quietly underpins some of the most fundamental processes in the cell....
