A collaborative team from the Miller lab and Eastman has discovered a new process for making anhydrides that promises improvements in cost and sustainability.

Featured on the cover of The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, the Lu Group introduces a geometric theoretical framework that sheds light on cyclic chemical reaction networks, such as catalysis networks, to harness energy from rapid environmental oscillations.

In this study, we showed that particulate 2-MT and 2-MG collected at multiple monitoring sites under a wide range of atmospheric and emission conditions, with concentrations spanning six orders of magnitudes, are well reproduced with an expanded isoprene-SOA scheme implemented into the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model.

Herein, a new DDA approach is proposed, DiffN, which uses the relative differential intensity of ions between two samples to selectively target species undergoing the largest fold changes for MS/MS.

Here we show that self-powered polycrystalline perovskite photodetectors can rival the commercial silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) for photon counting.

A bifunctional iminophosphorane (BIMP)-catalyzed method for the synthesis of densely functionalized cyclohexanols establishes five contiguous stereocenters (diastereoselection up to >20:1, enantioselectivity up to >99:1) in a Michael/aldol domino reaction between trisubstituted electrophilic alkenes and γ-nitroketones.
