A study explored how the diffusion of star-like and chain-like polymers depends on the pH and salt concentration of the solution.

Researchers shed light on how Pseudomonas syringae, a common bacterial pathogen responsible for diseases in crops across the globe, uses a chemical signal to bolster its virulence and survival.

At the heart of the research lies the phase state of organic aerosols, which can range from liquid to semisolid to glassy. This state determines their viscosity, a property that directly impacts their ability to nucleate ice.

A study challenges long-standing assumptions in this field and opens new doors for designing more efficient electrocatalysts.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Mark Schoenfisch, Peter A. Ornstein Distinguished Professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, explores the potential of nitric oxide as a topical treatment for melanoma.

Herein, an approach for discriminating between tardigrade morphological states is developed and utilized to compare sucrose- and CaCl2-induced tuns, using the model species Hypsibius exemplaris.

Herein, we disclose a backbone rearrangement approach to tune the short-chain branching of polymers.

A new homoleptic Ru polypyridyl complex bearing two aldehyde groups on each bipyridine ligand, [Ru(dab)3](PF6)2, where dab is 4,4′-dicarbaldehyde-2,2′-bipyridine, was synthesized, characterized, and utilized for iodide photo-oxidation studies.
