Being the Lever
On this week’s episode of New Matter, Dr. Colin Cox (King of the Robots) and Dr. Lauren Shields (Benchling) chat about organic team building, how to persevere and focus in the field of science and the pro-bono COVID projects her organization is working on. Shields also talks about what got her into science at a very young age and her amazing personal growth in the field since.

Reaction-Induced Strong Metal-Support Interactions between Metals and Inert Boron Nitride Nanosheets
Journal of the American Chemical Society
Encapsulation of metal nanocatalysts by support-derived materials is well known as a classical strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) effect that occurs almost exclusively with active oxide supports and often blocks metal-catalyzed surface reactions. In the present work this classical SMSI process has been surprisingly observed between metal nanoparticles, e.g., Ni, Fe, Co, and Ru, and inert hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets.

Polymer Derived From Material in Shrimp's Shells Could Deliver Anti-Cancer Drugs to Tumor Sites
Phys.org
Drug delivery is a recurring conundrum in cancer treatment. Scientists have developed many anti-cancer therapeutics. But those drugs often harm healthy tissues, and drugs can even break down in the bloodstream before reaching the tumor site. Anti-cancer drugs can last longer if dissolved in certain chemical solutions, but many come with potentially toxic side effects.
Nanoparticles are a promising type of drug delivery system.

With Synthetic Biology Nature Is All Business
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
A few days before starting SynBioBeta 2020, the event’s organizers distributed a mass email that carried an arrestingly blunt subject line: “digital events suck.” This was a bold assertion, given that the event was to be held virtually, as are many events these days. But the email’s author, John Cumbers, PhD, founder and CEO of SynBioBeta, explained that the organization intended to change up the virtual conference format.

New Lasers That Fire Terahertz Beams Could Propel Medical Imaging and Contraband Detection
Science Magazine
Compact, chip-based lasers have conquered much of the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet to infrared, enabling technologies from digital communications and barcode readers to laser pointers and printers. But one key region of the spectrum remained untamed: the terahertz band, which lies between infrared light and microwaves. Engineers hankered for a ready source of terahertz radiation, which can penetrate opaque objects and probe chemical fingerprints inside.

Graphene-Based Memory Resistors Show Promise for Brain-Based Computing
Lab Manager
As progress in traditional computing slows, new forms of computing are coming to the forefront. At Penn State, a team of engineers is attempting to pioneer a type of computing that mimics the efficiency of the brain's neural networks while exploiting the brain's analog nature.
Modern computing is digital, made up of two states, on-off or one and zero. An analog computer, like the brain, has many possible states.

Comparing Sensitivity of All Genes to Chemical Exposure
Science Daily
A University of Massachusetts Amherst environmental health scientist has used an unprecedented objective approach to identify which molecular mechanisms in mammals are the most sensitive to chemical exposures.
The study, published in the journal Chemosphere, advances the understanding of the interaction of chemicals, both pollutants and pharmaceuticals, on gene expression and the impact on human health.

Click Chemistry Sees First Use in Humans
Chemical & Engineering News
A therapy that relies on click chemistry to target a powerful cancer drug at tumor cells, sparing healthy ones, has entered Phase 1 clinical trials. It marks the first time that a click chemistry reaction has been carried out inside a patient’s body, according to Shasqi, the San Francisco–based biotech firm that developed the therapy.
The work marks a milestone in bioorthogonal chemistry, which relies on reactions that can run inside living organisms without disrupting biochemical processes.
