A team of collaborators from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill won Phase 1 of the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN)-sponsored Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Active AI Planners for Chemistry/Materials Optimization and Discovery Grand Challenge.

This week’s issue of Physical Review Letters (PRL) features the article “Electronic Excitation Response of DNA to High-energy Proton Radiation in Water” by Chris Shepard, Dr. Dillon Yost, and Professor Yosuke Kanai.

Welcome our newest faculty member, Elisa Pieri.

Jack Sundberg has created a software to help chemists uncover the best materials for their experiments — a potential game-changer for minimizing time and costs.

Herein, we communicate a strategy for the divergent functionalization of alkynes with photoexcited acridinium organic dyes, presumably via the formation of vinyl cation radicals as key intermediates.

A series of injectable polysaccharide hydrogels are prepared with oxidized dextran and diethylenetriamine-modified carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or hyaluronic acid (HA).

The current work introduces a new method utilizing PILSNER for the examination of the particles generated during ESI using simple analysis techniques with a commercially available potentiostat.

To this end we introduce analysis of liquid particles in aerosols via charge-induction amperometry (ALPACA), an extremely simple potentiostat-based technique capable of on-line, rapid measurement of the aggregate charge of aerosol particles.
