Multiligand-enabled, copper-catalyzed Hiyama coupling of arylsilanes with unactivated secondary alkyl halides: reaction development and mechanistic insights
Construction of carbon–carbon bonds is the cornerstone in organic synthesis, and Hiyama coupling is the representative synthetic approach for realizing linkages between silyl compounds and organohalides. In previous literature, such…
Jaguar Land Rover goes live with large-scale retrofit private 5G manufacturing network
As part of its mission to keep pace in a global automotive industry that is being reshaped by electrification and software-defined vehicles, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced in January…
Donor modulation brings all-in-one phototheranostics for NIR-II imaging-guided type-I photodynamic/photothermal synergistic cancer therapy
Type-I photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) synergistic therapy guided by fluorescence imaging in the near-infrared region II (NIR-II) is crucial for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Phototheranostics provide a promising system…
Going beyond flexibility: How 5G Standalone is changing the future of business
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, 5G Standalone (5G SA) is emerging as a driving force for digital transformation. Unlike 5G non-standalone (5G NSA), which relies on existing 4G…
Ligase-catalyzed transcription and reverse-transcription of XNA-containing nucleic acid polymers using T3 DNA ligase
A method to enable the transliteration between various XNA-continaing nucleic acids and canonical DNA is described. Using Ligase-catalysed oligonucleotide polymerisation (LOOPER), we show that DNA can be used as a…
Stable self-powered X-ray detection with a low detection limit using a green halide hybrid perovskite ferroelectric crystal
Lead halide hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics show great potential in the field of self-powered X-ray detection due to their excellent X-ray absorption, high carrier mobility, large carrier lifetime, and interesting ferroelectricity.…
Modulating the PCET process via optimizing the local microenvironment of a CdS@NiV-LDH heterojunction for CO2 reduction in tunable green syngas photosynthesis
Photoconversion of CO2 and H2O into syngas (CO + H2) for the Fischer–Tropsch reaction is considered a feasible plan to address global energy requirements in times of global warming. However,…
Insights into facile methane activation by a spin forbidden reaction with Ta+ ions in the gas phase
The activation of methane (CH4) by transition-metal cations in the gas phase provides a model for understanding the impact of electronic spin on reactivity, with implications in single atom catalysis.…
Radical-induced single-molecule conductance tuning in 9,9′-bifluorenylidene derivatives
Single-molecule techniques provide new perspectives for understanding the relationship between spin delocalization of organic radicals and the intramolecular electronic structure. In this study, a series of 9,9′-bifluorenylidene (9,9′-BF) derivatives with…
