Radical anions are competent reagents for supporting photoredox transformations of exceptionally strong chemical bonds. However, the excited states of radical anions are extremely short-lived, making...

We describe the chemical syntheses, MIC analyses, biochemical profiling, ribosome-bound X-ray crystal structures, and computational studies of cresomycin (CRM) sulfur atom replacement analogs C-CRM...

Far ultraviolet-C (UVC) light, especially germicidal UV light at 222 nm (GUV222), has received considerable attention for its potential to deactivate airborne pathogens indoors and prevent the spread...

The construction of C–C bonds by contractive “deletion” of the sulfur atom from a C–S–C motif is a useful transformation for the synthesis of complex heterocycles. The transformation allows a user to...

Harvard team fuses biophysics and AI to predict viral threats.

This article introduces a fabrication strategy for developing soft microactuators with orthogonally programmed shape, texture, and molecular anisotropy. Using microfluidics to generate liquid...

Fluoroalkylation methods beyond CF3 incorporation are less common but highly desirable. Herein, we leverage Ag(II) ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) to achieve catalytic installation of CF2X...

Nature Communications - The catalytic performance of dilute Pd-in-Au alloys depends on the Pd ensemble size on the bimetallic nanoparticle surface. Here the authors reveal how Pd ensemble formation...

Novel system developed by Harvard startup Trellis Air works like a coffee filter to dry and cool air more efficiently.

Lenalidomide is a thalidomide derivative that engages the E3 ligase substrate receptor cereblon (CRBN) to promote targeted protein degradation. Lenalidomide possesses a glutarimide moiety, which is...
