Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Audible sound-controlled cascade chemical processes
We report a strategy to control enzyme-mediated cascade reactions within audible sound-induced transient domains created in a solution.
Your car holds more life than you think
We all sleep, live, work, love, dream and die within an invisible ocean of -almost fully unknown - microbial life.
Near-infrared light driven two-photon-absorbing photocatalysis
Homogeneous photocatalysis typically employs one-photon-absorbing photosensitizers and requires UV/visible light irradiation. Herein, we report a group of ruthenium complexes with two-photon-absorption capabilities to drive organic photocatalysis using low-cost NIR LED (740 nm) as the light source.
Does the risk from Covid-19 change over time?
In our paper in Nature Communications, we examine the risk factors for risk of hospitalisation and death from Covid-19 from October 2020 to April 2021 in 2.3 million adults in England.
