Anthraquinone-2,7-disulfonic acid can be used in cheap and efficient fuel cells, where redox reactions recreate the used fuel.

Biomineralization approaches have been used for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Here, the influence of nucleation sites and protein size on the production of iron oxide nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging applications is described.

The amount of microplastics released into aquatic environments when synthetic fabrics are laundered can be substantially decreased with a low-friction, liquid-like polymer coating.

There is increasing demand for synthetic DNA. However, our ability to make, or write, DNA lags behind our ability to sequence, or read, it. This Review discusses commercialized DNA synthesis technologies in the pursuit of closing the DNA writing gap.

As the most common derivative of graphene, graphene oxide has emerged as a new frontier material with tremendous applications to photonics, electronics and optoelectronics in the past decade. This Review highlights the state of the art and future prospects for this fast-growing field.

Green dinitrogen fixation is critical for the decarbonization of fertilizers and fuel. This Review examines the common grounds and complementarities between nitrogenase enzymes, homogeneous catalysis and solid electrodes.

Metals and their complexes with antimicrobial activity are a promising source of new antibiotics. Their 3D geometry and potential for multiple mechanisms of action are important assets; however, a substantial investment in research is needed to advance them to the clinic.
