A new paper published in Nature Biotechnology this week titled, “Template-independent enzymatic synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides,” provides details of a method for synthesizing single-stranded RNA ...

Quantum dots are composed of semiconducting materials like cadmium selenide (CdSe) or indium arsenide (InAs) and can be synthesized through various methods. For instance, colloidal synthesis and ...

Amines are ubiquitous in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and a nickel-based catalyst has now opened up a promising route to make these molecules from widely-available nitrile compounds ...

There’s an old saying about a dollar waiting on a dime. In other words, a monumental endeavor may become stuck at some point if a key preliminary element remains unavailable. The saying could be ...

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals. They exist on a nanometer scale (ca. 2–12 nm) and are coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to avoid agglomeration. Due to their size, CQDs ...
