Ultrathin and luminescent covalent organic frame nanowires induced by chiral

Graphic summary. Credit: Journal of the American Chemical Society (2022). DOI: 10.1021 / jacs.2c00285 Compared to traditional materials with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity, covalent organic frames (COF), a new type of crystalline porous material, have great potential due to their structural designability, versatility, functional adjustability. and chemical stability. Currently, no COFs have been created …

In situ TEM shows why polymer nanocapsules are deformed

Nanocapsules are widely used in various industries, such as drug delivery systems. The recent study published in Langmuir focuses on the analysis of buckling and collapsing of nanocapsules using real-time transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results are useful in understanding the mechanism of buckling and can help to improve the design aspect of these structures. …

The new artificial enzyme breaks down hard, woody lignin

A new artificial enzyme has been shown to chew lignin, the resistant polymer that helps woody plants maintain their shape. Lignin also stores great potential for energy and renewable materials. In the journal Nature Communications, a team of researchers from Washington State University and the Northwest Pacific National Laboratory of the Department of Energy showed …

Revision of political donation rules still leaves Tasmania with “the weakest laws” in the country, critics say

The Tasmanian government has introduced long-awaited legislation to revise the state’s political donation rules, but opponents say they would still be the country’s weakest laws. Key points: Under the bill, political donations of more than $ 5,000 should be declared within seven days during election cycles, or every six months otherwise. It is well above …
