Researchers at Virginia Tech have developed a system that converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy, producing hydrogen gas. The team's molecular machines use light signals to collect and deliver electrons, enabling the production of hydrogen through artificial photosynthesis.
A Ph.D. student in chemistry at Virginia Tech has been selected to attend the 53rd Meeting of the Nobel Laureates, focusing on biochemistry. The student will have personal interactions with Nobel laureates and engage in seminars and roundtable discussions.
Virginia Tech researchers have developed a new class of supramolecular complexes that can bind to DNA and are water soluble. The complexes, created by coupling anticancer drug cisplatin with ruthenium(II) chromophores, can be easily modified synthetically.
Scientists Nori Yamaguchi and Harry Gibson have developed a reversible process to form supramolecular polymers, which can be used to create fibers or transport target molecules. The polymers are formed through hydrogen bonding and can be undone at the molecular level using heat or pH.
