Application Highlights
Zeolites smoke out carcinogens
Chinese chemists have developed new types of zeolite that can selectively filter out carcinogens from the environment.
Electroluminescent polymers that could display a full spectrum of colour have been developed using a dopant/host strategy.
Reactions on microfluidic devices can be directly probed by X-rays.
Flow chemistry: a more sustainable way
Organic chemists look towards labour-saving methods for synthesising molecules in the lab by using flow methods.
Piero Baglioni and Rodorico Giorgi at the University of Florence, Italy, suggest that using nanoparticles is a simple and successful way to restore works of art.
