⚡️Farewell to Swern⚡️Out in @chemicalscience.rsc.org!

Meet eCarbonyls (aka eSwern) from our lab #UniofGreenwich!
No smell (if you work cleanly!), no cryogenics, no oxalyl chloride. Just clean aldehydes at room temp using electricity.
Yes, we have that in stock for you!

Researchers have developed a method to grow graphene-like films with precisely controlled defects that can enhance the material's properties for applications in nanoelectronics, gas sensing and catalysis.

One-step method uses clever precursor molecule to make graphene with regular irregularities

Films that include five and seven-membered rings offer new functionality for nanoelectronics, gas sensors and catalysts

🔥 New and HOT in Chemical Science!

“High-throughput design of bimetallic materials via multimodal machine learning and the accessibility index” by Yan Zhu, Yinghuan Shi, and Jing Ma et al. from Nanjing University.

Read it for free: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Promotional image for the paper titled high-throughput design of bimetallic material via multimodal machine learning and the accessibility index. The image shows a scientific diagram illustrating machine learning (ML) approaches for predicting material accessibility in synthesis. It contrasts single-modal ML with multimodal ML. At the center is a computer screen displaying the equations used for the accessibility prediction: E_form = (E_total - E_metal - E_env) / N_metal and φ = D̅ × X_env. To the right, external test sets include nanoclusters, zeolites, alloys, and 2D materials. Below are examples of new bimetallic designs like AuNi, CuGd, and PtNi in nanoclusters and 2D materials.
