Does your ten-year-old code still run?

Scientists increasingly rely on software, but software is fragile. How long can we expect our software to remain usable? Only practice can tell.

Creation of a predictive model of metabolic changes characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases

Researchers have created a predictive model based on the detection of changes in metabolite concentration resolved by ¹H high-resolution MAS NMR

Achille Le Bel Grand Prize awarded to Eva Jakab Toth

The Achille Le Bel Grand Prize, awarded by the Société Chimique de France, rewards internationally recognized works.

Disturbed expression of autophagy genes in blood of Parkinson's disease patients

A dysregulation in the expression of autophagy genes necessary for the elimination of neurotoxic protein aggregates, observed in Parkinson's disease, is also directly detectable in the blood of patients

Unveiling billion-year old life forms with X-ray vision

Synchrotron-based studies reveal unprecedented details of some of the most ancient traces of life in 3D. Fossilised bacteria 1.9 billion years old were imaged in situ in a fragment of rock by Ptychographic X-rays Computed Tomography documenting details of preservation not previously observed.

Organometallic networks for the near-infrared emission of lanthanides

A new approach to sensitize the near-infrared luminescence of lanthanides based on the use of the cavity of organometallic networks

Manganese: A double agent for imaging ?

Manganese is a biocompatible metal ion, with great interest for MRI and PET. The alliance between Mn2+ and a bispidine ligand leads to an unprecedented kinetic inertness, which might enable its in vivo use without any toxicity risk.

Metallomics in geological time: trace element biosignatures evidence the influence of ocean chemistry on Earth’s earliest ecosystems

A new way of looking at ancient life: using trace element distributions co-located with biological carbonaceous materials in some of Earth’s oldest rocks
