To prevent and treat hypoglycemia, researchers in ACS Central Science report encapsulating the hormone glucagon. In mouse trials, the nanocapsules activated when blood sugar levels dropped dangerously low and quickly restored glucose levels.

It鈥檚 important to eat your veggies, but some essential vitamins and nutrients can only be found in animals, including certain amino acids and peptides. But, in a proof-of-concept study published in ACS鈥� Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers developed a method to produce creatine, carnosine and taurine 鈥� all animal-based nutrients and common workout supplements 鈥� right inside a plant. The system allows for different synthetic modules to be easily stacked together to boost production.
American Chemical Society (ACS) President Mary K. Caroll will issue a statement on the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry after the official announcement is made from Stockholm on Wednesday, Oct. 9. Caroll will also be available for Zoom interviews.
Scientists reporting in ACS Nano have made their own version of fake spider silk, but this one consists of proteins and heals wounds instead of haunting hallways. The artificial silk is strong enough to be woven into bandages that helped treat joint injuries and skin lesions in mice.
Researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters have designed a lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery that features an improved iron sulfide cathode. One prototype remains highly stable over 300 charge-discharge cycles, and another provides power even after being folded or cut.
Researchers in ACS Central Science report a sugar-like polymer that traps heavy metals within insoluble clumps for easy removal. In proof-of-concept tests, the polymer removed ionic cadmium and lead from river water spiked with these persistent contaminants.
Researchers in ACS鈥� Environmental Science & Technology Letters analyzed water from over 100 wells in Denmark for one particularly persistent PFAS: trifluoroacetate. They report steadily increasing levels of the forever chemical in recent decades.
Looking to extend the viability of human tissues, researchers report in ACS鈥� Nano Letters their efforts to facilitate completely freezing, rather than cooling and then thawing, potentially life-saving organs for transplant. They demonstrate a magnetic nanoparticle鈥檚 successful rewarming of animal tissues.
Now, scientists report in ACS Central Science that the unique tenacity of collagen in dinosaur skeletons may result from a molecular structure that shields these vulnerable bonds from attack by water that鈥檚 present in the environment.
Wildfires can damage crops, even if flames come nowhere near the plants. One outcome can be an unpleasant flavor and smell of wine that is made from grapes exposed to smoke. But researchers report in ACS鈥� Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that they have developed a way to lessen this smoke taint to improve the palatability of the wine.
Salsa ingredients, such as cilantro and jalape帽o, can be cultivated on recycled glass. A pilot study found that partially replacing potting soil with glass fragments can speed up plant development and reduce unwanted fungal growth. The researchers will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
En el calor abrasador del verano, cualquier persona que pase tiempo afuera podr铆a beneficiarse de un tejido refrigerante. Pero ahora, los investigadores han innovado con un revestimiento de microescala a base de tiza que enfr铆a el aire debajo del tejido tratado hasta 13 grados Celsius. Presentar谩n sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
In the scorching heat of summer, anyone who spends time outside could benefit from a cooling fabric. Now, researchers have innovated a durable chalk-based microscale coating that cools the air underneath treated fabric by up to 8 degrees Fahrenheit. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
Los ingredientes de la salsa, como el cilantro y el jalape帽o, se pueden cultivar en vidrio reciclado. Un estudio piloto revel贸 que la sustituci贸n parcial de la tierra con fragmentos de vidrio puede acelerar el desarrollo de la planta y reducir el crecimiento de hongos no deseado. Los investigadores presentar谩n sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Para entender mejor las mol茅culas prebi贸ticas, las semillas de la vida en la Tierra y posiblemente en otros lugares, los investigadores investigaron el papel de los electrones de baja energ铆a creados en part铆culas de hielo en el vac铆o. Presentar谩n sus resultados que podr铆an servir de base para nuevas aplicaciones en nuestro planeta hogar en la ACS Fall 2024.
To better understand prebiotic molecules 鈥� the seeds of life on Earth and possibly elsewhere 鈥� researchers investigated the role of low-energy electrons on ice particles in a vacuum. They will present their results that could inform new applications on our home planet at ACS Fall 2024.
Children born with certain heart defects receive a shunt implant to improve blood flow. The shunt must be replaced as their bodies grow. Researchers say a new light-reactive expandable shunt could cut the number of surgeries these children receive. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
Los ni帽os que nacen con ciertos defectos card铆acos se someten a un implante de shunt para mejorar el flujo sangu铆neo. El shunt debe cambiarse a medida que el cuerpo crece. Los investigadores informan que un nuevo shunt expandible que reacciona a la luz podr铆a reducir el n煤mero de cirug铆as a las que se someten estos ni帽os. Presentar谩n sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.

Pero ahora, los investigadores han innovado con un revestimiento de microescala a base de tiza que enfr铆a el aire debajo del tejido tratado hasta 13 grados Celsius. Presentar谩n sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Heart failure is especially fatal for people without access to medical facilities. A research team aims to bring heart failure screening from the lab to the home with a biosensor that uses a drop of saliva to screen for biomarkers of the disease. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.
