Equilibrating glass-forming liquids is notoriously hard; Duke chemists and their collaborators in France have developed a way to circumvent this obstacle, enabling studies of extremely sluggish liquids.
A recent publication in Nature Communications on selective carbon dioxide hydrogenation using plasmonic rhodium catalysts by the Liu lab and collaborators has been selected as one of eight featured articles in the
The Hargrove Lab compared bioactive ligands that target RNA to current FDA-approved drugs, nearly all of which target proteins. With the help of the Beratan Lab, they identified key differences in physical, structural, and spatial properties that distinguish RNA-targeted bioactive ligands.
The Therien Lab, teamed with chemists at UC San Francisco, have created a synthetic protein that tightly binds a non-biological catalyst, a type of molecule called porphyrin that is capable of stealing electrons from other molecules when it absorbs light. Read more about how the “protein gator”
A recent molecule, Takinib, developed by the Derbyshire and Haystead's labs, has been found to induce cell death in cancer cells by inhibiting the enzyme TAK-1. Current testing is focused on Takinib’s possible therapeutic benefits in r
The Welsher Lab has created a 3D Virus Cam that can track particles that are faster moving and less bright than previous microscopes.
The transformation of the free-energy landscape from smooth to hierarchical in glassy materials can significantly impact their low-temperature properties.
A cartilage-mimicking material created by the Wiley Lab may one day allow surgeons to 3-D print replacement knee parts that are custom-shaped to each patient’s anatomy.
