When rocks lay the groundwork for the origin of life
Mineral catalysts found in deep-sea vents convert CO2 and H2 to biomolecules, showing striking parallels to known biological pathways
An international collaboration of researchers in Germany, France and Japan investigated the catalytic activities of minerals found in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. The results suggest that mineral-driven chemical reactions might be closely mapped onto microbial carbon metabolism. … Continue Reading ››
The President Macron received part of the international researchers and students who participate in the “Make our planet great again” program (MOPGA)
Le Président de la République a reçu une partie des chercheurs et étudiants internationaux qui participent au programme « Make our planet great again » (MOPGA). Ils étaient une soixantaine en juin 2017, au lancement de l’opération, ils sont un peu plus de 200 aujourd’hui. Emmanuel Macron voudrait en faire les ambassadeurs … Continue Reading ››

A bottle of Alsace wine slides along a zip line from the top floor of the Institut de science et d'ingénierie supramoléculaires (Isis) to baptize the new facade of its extension: Isis-2. After two years of work, the new building financed under the "Campus Operation" … Continue Reading ››
Thomas Ebbesen awarded the CNRS Gold Medal for 2019
This year’s CNRS Gold Medal, one of France’s most prestigious scientific prize, has been awarded to the Franco-Norwegian physical chemist Thomas Ebbesen. He specializes in nanosciences, a cross-disciplinary field that covers a variety of scientific areas that include carbon materials, optics, nano-photonics and molecular chemistry. His discoveries have notably enabled technological … Continue Reading ››
Prof. Amir Hoveyda (Boston College) will join ISIS
The priority research programme “Make our planet great again” was launched by the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, and the Secretary General for Investment. Today, the 12 high-level laureates have been selected by an international jury to join leading French laboratories in the fight against climate change. It is our great … Continue Reading ››

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 ››
