SFC Europe 2025—the 19th International Conference on Packed Column Supercritical Fluid Chromatography and Related Techniques—will be held in Basel, Switzerland, on October 5–7, 2025.

A stimulating session on method development in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) was one of the highlights of the morning sessions on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, Day 2 of ...

The chiral Au VC NPs coated with Ni(OH)₂ were observed to exhibit superior OER performance compared to their achiral counterparts, while the generation of H₂O₂ was significantly suppressed. Figure 5.

Chiral chromatography (CCh) is often a cost driver in the large-scale separation of enantiomers. To improve the economics of the separation process, we developed the concept of coupling CCh with ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like ...

Their work was published in Nature Communications ("Achiral hard bananas assemble double-twist skyrmions and blue phases"). Skyrmions typically arise from chiral interactions, that is, a molecular ...

Team uses achiral hard banana-shaped particles to assemble skyrmions and blue phases International Institute for Sustainability with Knotted Chiral Meta Matter (SKCM2) ...

Using a chiral organic acid, imidodiphosphorimidate, as a catalyst, the team successfully performed rearrangements of achiral alkenyl cycloalkanes, producing chiral molecules of interest called ...

A chiral molecule is first used as the template. Achiral (or non-chiral) nanoparticles are then assembled on this template, allowing them to mimic the structure of the chiral molecule.

Achiral (or non-chiral) nanoparticles are then assembled on this template, allowing them to mimic the structure of the chiral molecule. The drawback to this technique is that it cannot be universally ...

But, truly chiral phonons would be atomic motions that are both rotating and propagating, and these have never been observed in three-dimensional (3D) bulk systems. Now, a team of researchers led by ...
