Water and the bad smelling molecule hydrogen sulphide do not seem to have a lot in common at first sight. However, when investing a little energy, some differences disappear.

Nanotubes can serve as biosensors. They change their fluorescence when they bind to certain molecules. Until now, it was unclear why. Researchers have gained new insights into the cause of the fluorescence.

Nature: RESOLV PI Benjamin List and his team discribe a process of converting homofarnesol into ambrox, using a special catalyst that ensures the reaction happens in a specific, controlled way.

Phy. Che. Che. Phy.: RESOLV researchers characterize the effect of rubidium ions on water–ice nanoislands in terms of area, fractal dimension, and apparent height by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy.

Chem. Sus. Chem.: Decarboxylative Ketonization of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids in a Continuous Flow Reactor Catalysed by Manganese Oxide on Silica

This new concept could allow the needs of previously separate industries to be combined.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Gold clusters in supercritical aqueous solutions exhibit strong interactions with the solvent, resulting in the formation of well-defined metal-water solvation complexes.

J. Am. Chem. Soc.: A research team from Bochum has identified a crucial detail that’s essential for the production of hydrogen using biocatalysts.

J. Am. Chem. Soc: RESOLV Scientists have found new paths to steer and optimize electrochemical processes. Their novel understanding of processes on electrified surfaces opens up new possibilities.
