The missing intermediate to form ethanol from carbon dioxide
So far ethanol and ethylene have been suggested as twin products during CO2 electroreduction on copper. Here, via in situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory, we report a specific intermediate for ethanol production, proposing an update reaction mechanism.
Photoreactive fragment pharmacophores explore potential binding sites and provide hits for highly challenging drug targets
Photoaffinity-tagged fragments are increasingly used for convenient hit detection and binding site mapping in early drug discovery. We tackled two important challenges by maximizing the pharmacophore diversity of the core fragments, and by enhancing the labelling efficiency of the photoaffinity tag.
A singular plasmonic-thermoelectric hollow nanostructure inducing apoptosis and cuproptosis for catalytic cancer therapy
A high-performance plasmonic-thermoelectric catalytic therapy utilizing copper vacancy-enriched Cu2−xSe hollow nanospheres. The accumulations of reactive oxygen species, heat and copper ions within cancer cells trigger cuproptosis and apoptosis, creating a synergistic therapeutic effect.
