Flipping the switch on supramolecular electronics
Researchers from the University of Strasbourg & CNRS (France), in collaboration with the University of Mons (Belgium), the Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany), and the University of Trento (Italy), have created photoswitchable molecular lattices on two-dimensional materials and exploited them to fabricate high-performance hybrid devices with light-controllable electrical … Continue Reading ››
TOTAL CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS AND BIOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A DESIGNED SOLUBLE 24 KDA AMYLOID ANALOGUE
Researchers from the team of Protein Chemistry at the University of Strasbourg demonstrated a novel approach to study molecular recognition in amyloids. The findings that have implications for the development of diagnostic tools for protein misfolding diseases are published in Chemical Science and selected by the editors to be part of the 2018 Chemical Science … Continue Reading ››

CO2 coupling on iron parallels ancient biological pathway
Researchers at the University of Strasbourg have discovered a striking similarity between the way carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with metals and the way that ancient microbes use CO2 to build their biomass, providing potential insight into how chemistry on the early Earth foreshadowed biochemistry in the first organisms.
The study was funded by the European Research … Continue Reading ››

Reversible, Fast, and Wide-Range Oxygen Sensor Based on Nanostructured Organometal Halide Perovskite
Reversible, Fast, and Wide-Range Oxygen Sensor Based on Nanostructured Organometal Halide Perovskite
Abstract
Nanostructured materials characterized by high surface–volume ratio hold the promise to constitute the active materials for next-generation sensors. Solution-processed hybrid organohalide perovskites, which have been extensively used in the last few years for … Continue Reading ››
Metabolism without enzymes.
Researchers from the University of Strasbourg have shown that a large part of an anabolic pathway central to biochemistry can be promoted by simple metals without the need for enzymes. The pathway known as the reverse Krebs cycle is thought to have been one of the earliest metabolic pathways in early life. This new research … Continue Reading ››
Supramolecular cruise control
Researchers from the University of Strasbourg have shown that artificial supramolecular fibers can be kept in sustained non-equilibrium steady states, similar to a car driving on cruise control. In living systems, chemical fuel is used continuously and waste is removed at the same time. A similar feat was now achieved in an artificial system using … Continue Reading ››
