A new method to recycle fluoride from long-lived PFAS chemicals

Oxford Chemistry researchers have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (sometimes labeled 'forever chemicals') while recovering their fluorine content for future use. The results have been published in Nature.

Blue pigment improves foundation makeup shades for dark skin

On the shelves of makeup counters and drugstores sits an array of foundations in various olive, ivory, and fair shades. But for people with darker skin tones, finding the right foundation shade can be a challenge. Dark foundations ...

Nickel(0) and boron—together at last in square-planar complexes

The arrangement of small molecules—known as ligands—around transition metal atoms affects how the metal atoms behave. This is important because transition metals are used as catalysts in the synthesis of a wide range ...

Superoxide's role in enzyme-driven drug synthesis uncovered

Enzymes, the core catalysts in life, drive critical biological processes ranging from metabolic regulation to energy conversion. Evolved over billions of years, these versatile molecular machines not only serve as foundational ...
