Angew.Chem.: Unlike metallic magnets, magnets consisting of organic molecules could be lightweight, transparent, flexible or liquid. Normally, however, they are unstable.
'ChemPhysChem' asked 4 questions to Wolfram Sander (RUB) and Elsa Sanchez-Garcia (University of Duisburg-Essen) about their new research on the dynamics of a peptide in explicit solvent, which was featured with a cover picture in the journal.
JACS: Precious metals are often efficient catalysts. But they are expensive and rare. However, it has so far been difficult to determine how efficient non-precious metal alternatives are. (German version below the English one)
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Precious metal nanoparticles of platinum and gold are excellent catalysts. But they are expensive and rare. This new method makes it possible to save material.
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Since they are so tiny, it is difficult to investigate single nanoparticles. However, this is exactly what researchers are aiming for in order to tailor their properties. For that purpose, they came up with a trick.
