New 'molecular handle' uses common amino acid to build complex medicines
In a new study published in Nature Communications, a team of chemists has unveiled a radically simple way to attach a highly sought-after "molecular handle," kn...
Building 'green' protection for fragile enzymes
Enzymes are nature's tiny powerhouses, helping with everything from digesting food to making it quicker and safer to produce medicines, food and renewable fuels...
Low-cost robotic chemistry system can be built and deployed in any lab
In a paper just out in Nature Synthesis, researchers led by Prof. Timothy Noël of the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences pre...
A new fruit wash removes pesticides and extends shelf life
University of British Columbia researchers have developed a natural, biodegradable wash that removed up to 96% of pesticide residue from fruit and slowed browni...
GenAI could push consumer research toward generic, biased results
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is opening the door for more researchers to conduct consumer studies than ever before. But that same accessibility ma...
Compact CRISPR system unlocks targeted in-body gene editing, with up to 90% efficiency
