Auto Tech Talks explores the science behind the latest breakthroughs in electric and autonomous vehicles and where the industry is headed next. As the most expensive part of a vehicle, the battery is the Achilles heel of the EV revolution, but that's not stopping the progress of electrification. In fact, engineers are hard at work developing new battery technologies that reduce costs while making batteries more powerful and longer lasting. Welcome to Season 1 of Auto Tech Talks, where we take a deep dive into the latest developments in EV battery technology. We talk to the engineers who are ...

Two students explain chemistry in an easy and understandable way.

A workshop held last June by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director’s Office, Nature Publishing Group, and Science focused on the role that journals play in supporting scientific research that is reproducible, robust, and transparent. The “Principles and Guidelines for Reporting Preclinical Research” that emerged from the workshop have since been endorsed by nearly 80 societies, journals, and associations.VOL.290,NO.50,pp.29692–29694 - 2015

The gender imbalance in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields has remained constant for decades and increases the farther up the STEM career pipeline one looks. Why does the underrepresentation of women endure? This study investigated the role of parenthood as a mechanism of gender-differentiated attrition from STEM employment. Using a nationally representative 8-year longitudinal sample of US STEM professionals, we examined the career trajectories of new parents after the birth or adoption of their first child. We found substantial attrition of new mothers: 43% of women ...

Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) are an incredibly versatile class of materials that can be used as scaffolds to construct anticancer nanocarrier systems. The ease of chemical functionalisation, biocompatibility, and intrinsic therapeutic capabilities of many of these nanoparticles can be leveraged to design effective anticancer systems. This article is the first comprehensive review of CNM-based nanocarrier systems that incorporate approved chemotherapy drugs, and many different types of CNMs and chemotherapy agents are discussed. Almost 200 examples of these nanocarrier systems have been analysed...

Join us in this episode of the Safer Chemicals Podcast as we explore the latest developments from the Enforcement Forum of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). In conversation with Katja vom Hofe, the outgoing Chair of the Forum, we reflect on the achievements and challenges faced in promoting chemical safety and enforcement. Discover how the Forum's collaborative efforts have shaped the future of chemical regulation in Europe and learn about the upcoming REACH enforcement project, REF-13. We dive into the topic of enforcing chemical products sold online, exploring the scope, impact, ...

Albert Einstein once eloquently stated “We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.” Mother Nature has proven time and again to be the best engineer, architect, scientist, and doctor. This fact has not been lost on mankind, and since time immemorial, we have looked to nature for answers to human conditions and diseases. Indeed, our first evidence dates back to preliterary history as long as 50,000 years ago, in archaeological discoveries from a Middle Eastern grave site at Shanidar, Iraq, of a Neanderthal man which contained plant specimens, of ...

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a therapeutic challenge due to the lack of targetable genetic alterations and the frequent development of resistance to the standard cisplatin-based chemotherapies. Here, we have taken a systems biology approach to investigate kinase signal transduction networks that are involved in TNBC resistance to cisplatin. Treating a panel of cisplatin- sensitive and cisplatin-resistant TNBC cell lines with a panel of kinase inhibitors allowed us to reconstruct two kinase signalling networks that characterise sensitive and resistant cells. The analysis of ...

This episode gives you the highlights from the June meeting of our Biocidal Products Committee. Our guest is the Chair of the committee, Erik van de Plassche. In this episode we cover, for example, topical active substance and Union authorisation cases. We also discuss some procedural topics related to data that is generated after an active substance has been approved as well as minor and major change applications in the context of Union authorisations. We also take a broader look at the work of the committee and hear Erik’s reflections on how it has developed during the past ten years, ...

Meta-research, or the science of science, is a powerful technique that scientists can use to improve science, however most scientists are unaware that meta-research exists and courses are rare. This initiative demonstrates the feasibility of a participant-guided “learn by doing” approach, in which a multidisciplinary, global team of early career researchers learned meta-research skills by working together to design, conduct and publish a meta-research study.https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3001073 - 2021

Mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes contain free-moving components that cannot dissociate and have enabled the investigation and control of various translational and rotational molecular motions. The architecture of pseudo-rotaxanes and of some kinetically labile rotaxanes is comparable to that of rotaxanes but their components are reversibly associated and not irreversibly interlocked. In other words, pseudo-rotaxanes may fall apart. This Account focuses on a peculiar family of rotaxane-like architectures termed foldaxanes. Foldaxanes consist of a helically ...

[Ru(phen)2 (dppz)]2+ has been studied since the 1990s due to its ‘light-switch’ properties. It can be used as a luminescent DNA probe, with emission switched on through DNA binding. The luminescence observed is dependent on the solvent accessibility of the pyrazine nitrogen atoms, and therefore is sensitive to changes in both binding site of the cation and chromophore orientation. The compound is also chiral, and there are distinct differences between the enantiomers in terms of the emission behaviour when bound to a variety of DNA sequences. Whilst a number of binary DNA-complex X-ray ...

The movement towards open science is a consequence of seemingly pervasive failures to replicate previous research. This transition comes with great benefits but also significant challenges that are likely to affect those who carry out the research, usually early career researchers (ECRs). Here, we describe key benefits, including reputational gains, increased chances of publication, and a broader increase in the reliability of research. The increased chances of publication are supported by exploratory analyses indicating null findings are substantially more likely to be published via open ...
