A team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was recently able to observe how promethium forms chemical bonds when placed in an aqueous solution.
In the scorching heat of summer, anyone who spends time outside could benefit from a cooling fabric. Now, researchers have innovated a durable chalk-based microscale coating that cools the air underneath treated fabric by up to 8 degrees Fahrenheit. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
Salsa ingredients, such as cilantro and jalapeño, can be cultivated on recycled glass. A pilot study found that partially replacing potting soil with glass fragments can speed up plant development and reduce unwanted fungal growth. The researchers will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
En el calor abrasador del verano, cualquier persona que pase tiempo afuera podría beneficiarse de un tejido refrigerante. Pero ahora, los investigadores han innovado con un revestimiento de microescala a base de tiza que enfría el aire debajo del tejido tratado hasta 13 grados Celsius. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Scientists have developed a way to detect tiny amounts of hard-to-detect explosives more than eight feet away.
In recent years, machine learning models have become increasingly popular for risk assessment of chemical compounds. However, they are often considered 'black boxes' due to their lack of transparency, leading to scepticism among toxicologists and regulatory authorities. To increase confidence in these models, researchers at the University of Vienna proposed to carefully identify the areas of chemical space where these models are weak. They developed an innovative software tool ('MolCompass') for this purpose and the results of this research approach have just been published in the prestigious Journal of Cheminformatics.
Para entender mejor las moléculas prebióticas, las semillas de la vida en la Tierra y posiblemente en otros lugares, los investigadores investigaron el papel de los electrones de baja energía creados en partículas de hielo en el vacío. Presentarán sus resultados que podrían servir de base para nuevas aplicaciones en nuestro planeta hogar en la ACS Fall 2024.
To better understand prebiotic molecules — the seeds of life on Earth and possibly elsewhere — researchers investigated the role of low-energy electrons on ice particles in a vacuum. They will present their results that could inform new applications on our home planet at ACS Fall 2024.
A multi-institutional team of researchers developed a stand-alone box model to predict aqueous and cloud chemistry of biomass-burning phenols based on laboratory measurements.
Transforming carbon monoxide into an energy dense liquid fuel is hard to accomplish in a single step, so researchers instead use multi-step reactions. Recently, scientists improved this multi-step process by using recyclable organic reductants.
The American Chemical Society (ACS) has added 37 new names to its roster of ACS Fellows in 2024, including Charles Brumlik, PhD, corporate faculty in the Master of Science in Biotechnology program at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.
Heart failure is especially fatal for people without access to medical facilities. A research team aims to bring heart failure screening from the lab to the home with a biosensor that uses a drop of saliva to screen for biomarkers of the disease. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.

Pero ahora, los investigadores han innovado con un revestimiento de microescala a base de tiza que enfría el aire debajo del tejido tratado hasta 13 grados Celsius. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Los niños que nacen con ciertos defectos cardíacos se someten a un implante de shunt para mejorar el flujo sanguíneo. El shunt debe cambiarse a medida que el cuerpo crece. Los investigadores informan que un nuevo shunt expandible que reacciona a la luz podría reducir el número de cirugías a las que se someten estos niños. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
La leche “dorada” de cúrcuma se ha convertido en un elemento esencial de cualquier cafetería de moda. Ahora, los investigadores han desarrollado un método eficiente para hacer una versión instantánea y vegetal que mantiene las propiedades beneficiosas de los ingredientes al tiempo que prolonga la vida útil. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded in popularity, but it’s hard to know what’s going on inside. Explainable AI (XAI) gives justification for an AI model’s decisions, and now, researchers are using it to make better antibiotics. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
La inteligencia artificial (IA) ha explotado en popularidad, pero al igual que un ser humano, es difícil leer la mente de la IA. La IA explicable (XAI), un subconjunto de la tecnología, podría ayudarnos a hacer justamente eso justificando las decisiones de un modelo.
Algunos libros de la época victoriana fueron teñidos con pigmentos tóxicos. Las últimas investigaciones sobre estos “libros venenosos” utilizaron una técnica no aplicada previamente a los libros para evaluar una colección universitaria, y los investigadores descubrieron que algunos volúmenes tenían posiblemente niveles inseguros. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
“Golden” turmeric milk has become a staple of any trendy café. Researchers have now developed an efficient method to make a plant-based, instant version that maintains the ingredients’ beneficial properties while also extending its shelf life. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
Benjamin Manard, an analytical chemist at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will receive the 2024 Lester W. Strock Award from the Society of Applied Spectroscopy.
