Diels-Alder database for computing and experimenting
Researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel have created a database for chemists working with Diels-Alder reactions, focusing on covalent adaptive networks, they state in Macromolecules.
Well marinated
Single-cell techniques offer many possibilities, but it is difficult to reach all the cells inside organs. Researchers at MIT have developed a new approach that brings those hard-to-reach parts into brilliant focus.
Polymers that like to move
Soft materials for surgical robotics, that’s the goal of a group in Groningen. They have recently made a surprising step in the right direction.

Polymer skeleton keeps artificial cell in shape
Using diacetylene-based building blocks, researchers in Eindhoven have succeeded in creating an artificial cytoskeleton that closely mimics the mechanical properties of its living counterpart.
Gold and sugar to fight ovarian cancer
Combine gold atoms, thioglucosides and N-heterocyclic carbenes and you get a complex that targets ovarian cancer cells in vitro while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
ENW-XL and ENW-M: Christmas presents for Dutch science
The Open Competition ENW-XL offers funding for groundbreaking fundamental research projects set up by collaborative consortia of scientists from various universities and institutes. In this round, 21 proposals have been granted, ranging from €1-3 million per project. Here, we present those that involve members from the KNCV and/or NVBMB.
UK launches £37m programme to uncover cultural heritage through chemistry
The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) will fund 31 innovative projects designed to protect and grow the UK’s £29 billion heritage sector.
Green solvents for biogas membranes
To help make the agricultural sector more sustainable, a team from KU Leuven designed a membrane with a green solvent strategy for biogas purification.
Solid composite electrolyte outperforms on all fronts
A team from the University of Hasselt and the research institute imec presents in Advanced Science a new electrolyte that combines the properties of solid and liquid electrolytes in batteries. ‘We actually cheat a little.’
More than pollution: secondary organic aerosols
Air pollution interferes with plant olfactory communication by accelerating the breakdown of volatile compounds. However, a recent study published in Science suggests that the effects of pollution are not as simple as they seem.
First step towards natural sunscreen
Researchers in Amsterdam have laid the first foundations for a sunscreen based on a molecule found naturally in the skin: urocanic acid. They have published extensive spectroscopic data in two papers in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
