New Chemistry Makes Strong Bonds Weak Phys.org    Share    Researchers at Princeton have developed a new chemical reaction that breaks the strongest bond in a molecule instead of the weakest, completely reversing the norm for reactions in which bonds are evenly split to form reactive intermediates. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the non-conventional reaction is a proof of concept that will allow chemists to access compounds that are normally off-limits to this pathway. More Heating and Cooling With Light Leads to Ultrafast DNA Diagnostics Science Daily    Share    New technology developed by bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley, promises to make a workhorse lab tool cheaper, more portable and many times faster by accelerating the heating and cooling of genetic samples with the switch of a light. This turbocharged thermal cycling, described in a paper in the journal Light: Science & Application, greatly expands the clinical and research applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. More Scientists Image Peptide-Binding GPCR Activity for First Time Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News    Share    Researchers at the National Institutes of Health say they used atomic level images to show how the neuropeptide hormone neurotensin might activate its receptors. Their description reportedly is the first of its kind for a neuropeptide-binding G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), a class of molecules involved in a wide range of disorders and the target of many drugs. More New Hope in Old Viruses Bioscience Technology    Share    Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) researchers at Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE) have reconstructed an ancient virus that is highly effective at delivering gene therapies to the liver, muscle, and retina. The discovery, published in Cell Reports, has the potential to advance gene therapies that are not only safer and more potent than available therapies, but also to help a greater number of patients. More Giant Negative Area Compressibility Tunable in a Soft Porous Framework Material Journal of the American Chemical Society    Share    A soft porous material [Zn(L)2(OH)2]n· Guest (where L is 4-(1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazol-1-yl)benzoate, and Guest is water or methanol) exhibits the strongest ever observed negative area compressibility (NAC), an extremely rare property, as at hydrostatic pressure most materials shrink in all directions and few expand in one direction. More Chemistry Olympiad: Asia Dominates and U.S. Wins One Gold and Three Silver Medals Chemical & Engineering News    Share    China emerged as the top-performing team during the 47th International Chemistry Olympiad last month, winning the four highest-ranked gold medals; South Korea and Taiwan also won four gold medals. The high school chemistry competition, in which teams of four students represent each country, took place on July 20–29 in Baku, ­Azerbaijan. The U.S. team, sponsored by ACS, put on a strong performance, winning one gold and three silver medals. More Surface Analytical Methods Applied to Magnesium Corrosion Analytical Chemistry    Share    Understanding magnesium alloy corrosion is of primary concern, and scanning probe techniques are becoming key analytical characterization methods for that purpose. This feature presents recent trends in this field as the progressive substitution of steel and aluminum car components by magnesium alloys to reduce the overall weight of vehicles is an irreversible trend.
