For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

Platinum chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)), can act as radiosensitizers when bound covalently to nuclear DNA in cancer cells. This radiosensitization is ...

Quantum dots beat traditional photosensitizers at their own game. They tackle reactions once thought too tough for ...

There are fundamentally two ways to generate electricity. The first is based on electromagnetic induction, which remains the ...
