New Crystals Promise Cleaner, Cheaper Gas Purification
Groundbreaking approach to gas separation Scientists from the University of Strathclyde and the University of Sheffield have unveiled a novel class of crystalline materials that could transform how industries purify gas streams. Published in Nature Chemistry, the work describes non-porous silver coordination polymers lined with fluorine-based chains that respond to pressure by forming temporary openings.…

MIT Chemists Create Red Fluorescent Dyes to Sharpen Biomedical Imaging
New Red-Emitting Dyes Could Transform Biomedical Imaging Researchers at MIT have designed a new class of fluorescent molecules based on stabilized borenium ions that glow in the red to near-infrared range. These dyes aim to overcome long-standing challenges in optical imaging, where blue and green dyes often fall short for deep-tissue visualization. The study, published…
