Chinese researchers have developed a photocatalytic membrane reactor that dramatically improves the synthesis of imines—a ...
Photocatalysts facilitate chemical reactions by absorbing light. Metal-based photocatalysts are widely used in organic ...
The first time Ryan Shenvi played Wordle, when the popular word-guessing game was just taking off, he remembers thinking, “Oh, we should do this for retrosynthesis.” The La Jolla–based Scripps ...
Jen Keane’s claim to fame is that she grew a shoe using bacteria, coaxing the microbes to deposit their nanocellulose materials in the shape of a sneaker. But she’s kind of over that. “I feel like ...
From synthetic biology and gene therapy to data storage and biofuel production, the demand for synthetic DNA is rising. (1) Chemicals remove the 5’-hydroxyl protecting group. The nucleosides are rich ...
There’s an old saying about a dollar waiting on a dime. In other words, a monumental endeavor may become stuck at some point if a key preliminary element remains unavailable. The saying could be ...
What is synthesis in graduate writing, and why does it matter? When graduate scholars synthesize sources, they paraphrase ideas, evaluate the credibility of sources and make critical connections as ...
