In 2022, only 9.5% of plastic was made from recycled materials. Almost a third of the plastic waste produced was allocated for recycling, but only half was actually recycled. chemistryworld.com/news/less-than…

Nasa’s rover Curiosity has discovered elusive pure carbonates on Mars, helping to solve the conundrum of how the planet was once warm enough to enable rivers to flow. chemistryworld.com/news/one-of-th…

Advances in biomarker science can complement in vitro experiments, enhancing predictive reliability and reducing reliance on dedicated DDI studies. Learn more in this free whitepaper from LGC Standards: chemistryworld.com/industry/optim… #ad

Ambiguities in chemical nomenclature can lead to misinterpretations that impact everything from data integration and IP disputes to product safety. That's why Iupac is working to standardise the definitions of a molecular machine, and you can help! chemistryworld.com/news/molecular…

'Where economic considerations once pushed labs out of city centres, declining demand for retail and office spaces in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic are opening doors to redeveloping those sites as labs.' writes Phillip Broadwith. chemistryworld.com/opinion/giving…

Molecular machines won a Nobel prize nine years ago, but we still can’t decide what one is: chemistryworld.com/news/molecular…

Molecular machines won a Nobel prize nine years ago, but we still cannot decide what is a molecular machine. World authority, International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry IUPAC on #chemistry nomenclature aims to clean up molecular machine terminology. chemistryworld.com/opinion/take-t…

Take 2 quick polls to help IUPAC define “molecular machines”! In my mind defining the differences between molecular motors and molecular switches is not as nuanced as defining molecular machines more broadly. The first poll was definitely cool and I was pleased to see the results

A new process for transferring cyclic voltammetry measurements from lab instruments to electronic notebooks, to yield open, standardised data can help other scientists to store and manage their experimental data to adhere to Fair data principles. chemistryworld.com/news/digital-w…

Phil Kay of JMP Software has a problem with how the chemistry community handles data. A lack of standardisation across data storage doesn't just hurt efficiency and collaboration, but potentially patient safety too. But there is hope on the horizon. chemistryworld.com/opinion/we-nee… #ad

The presidents of 21 international science unions have written an appeal to immigration authorities across the world urging them to consider awarding scientists entrance visas to enable them to benefit from international collaboration. chemistryworld.com/news/science-u…

Drawing inspiration from the specificity of enzymes’ active sites, researchers designed a catalyst-ligand complex with a tailored cone-shaped pocket capable of distinguishing between simple alkyl substituents, including ethyl and propyl groups. chemistryworld.com/news/enzyme-in…

Gilead have agreed to pay $202 million to resolve the allegations that stem from its HIV speaker events. chemistryworld.com/news/gilead-se…

Merck will pay $3.9 billion for SpringWorks, which has two US-approved drugs - Ogsiveo, a selective gamma secretase inhibitor for treating rare desmoid tumours, and Gomekli, a kinase inhibitor for treating the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis type 1. chemistryworld.com/news/merck-kga…

‘We noticed in the literature that if you [take tryptamine] and just switch the carbon and nitrogen on the indole ring and turn it into an isotryptamine, it tended to be much less hallucinogenic,’ explains David Olson, whose lab carried out the study. chemistryworld.com/news/lsd-analo…

On Monday, an unprecedented blackout caused chaos across Spain and Portugal. Nevertheless, research centres stayed strong and showcased survival skills and resilience. Yours truly, reporting for @chemistryworld: chemistryworld.com/news/research-… #RealTimeChem #ChemTwitter

On 28 April, one of the largest blackouts in the history of the Iberian Peninsula caused chaos in the region, but most research centres were able to secure scientific data and equipment. chemistryworld.com/news/research-…
