Boron chemistry, particularly the study of metallacarboranes, has emerged as a dynamic field with significant implications for modern medicinal applications. These compounds, characterised by robust ...
The team led by chemistry professor Holger Braunschweig at the University of Würzburg is investigating the ‘metal-mimetic’ properties of main group elements such as boron. They have shown that under ...
In my case, I happened to be in the right place at the right time, and along with my colleagues, I worked to create the fledgling field of modern boron chemistry. As a result, I managed to make a ...
Eliminating toxic and expensive heavy metals in the chemical industry: A new publication in "Nature Chemistry" from the University of Würzburg points the way forward. The team led by chemistry ...
From cancer-fighting proteins to eco-friendly metal extraction, scientists are finding surprising new uses for elements like boron and thallium. ETH Zurich chemists have unlocked a faster way to build ...
Chemical compounds based on the element boron are central tools in modern chemistry and are used, among other things, to build drugs, advanced materials, and molecules for medical diagnostics. Some ...
Larry G. Sneddon got into boron chemistry for the adventure. In graduate school, he joined a research group investigating volatile boron compounds as possible high-energy fuels. He was attracted to ...
When you mention boron to people and ask them what it brings to mind, there’s no shortage of answers. Some will think about borax (sodium borate), which is used to make glass and the playful ...
Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...
