- New strategy unlocks magnetic switching with hydrogen bonding at molecular level 23/10/2024 A research team from Kumamoto University has successfully developed a new approach to create switchable magnetic materials by using hydrogen bonding at the molecular level. Their study shows how certain metal complexes, previously unresponsive to external stimuli, can now exhibit sharp and complete magnetic transitions by introducing chiral hydrogen bonds.
- Researchers crack a key problem with sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and grid energy storage 03/10/2024 Lithium-ion batteries have long dominated the market as the go-to power source for electric vehicles. They are also increasingly being considered for storage of renewable energy to be used on the electric grid. However, with the rapid expansion of this market, supply shortages of lithium are projected within the next five to 10 years.
- Chemical imaging method holds promise for separate overlapping fingerprints 19/09/2024 A new study from the Department of Forensic Medicine at Aarhus University is the first in the world to analyze fingerprints on gelatin lifters using chemical imaging. This could be crucial in criminal cases where current methods fall short.

- Researchers explore design of polar crystalline solids of pure molecular materials 05/09/2024 Harmeet Bhoday, a Missouri S&T Ph.D. student in chemistry from Chandigarh, India, was the lead author of an article titled "Perfect Polar Alignment of Parallel Beloamphiphile Layers: Improved Structural Design Bias Realized in Ferroelectric Crystals of the Novel Methoxyphenyl Series of Acetophenone Azines."
- AI tackles one of the most difficult challenges in quantum chemistry 29/08/2024 New research using neural networks, a form of brain-inspired AI, proposes a solution to the tough challenge of modeling the states of molecules.
- Enhancing electron transfer for highly efficient upconversion OLEDs 22/08/2024 Electron transfer is an elementary process in which an electron is transferred or relocated from a donor molecule or atom to another such entity, called the acceptor. This process is fundamental to chemical reactions, electronic devices, and even living organisms.
- New states of matter unveiled in ‘first time’ quantum flatland discovery 20/08/2024 This development was observed under extreme conditions of near absolute zero temperatures (-459°F or -273°C) and intense magnetic fields nearly 100,000 times stronger than Earth’s.
- Solving the doping problem: Enhancing performance in organic semiconductors 06/08/2024 Cavendish physicists have discovered two new ways to improve organic semiconductors. They found a way to remove more electrons from the material than previously possible and used unexpected properties in an environment known as the non-equilibrium state, boosting its performance for use in electronic devices.
