“Metallic and Covalent Bonding in Materials: Role in Properties, Structure, and Stability” Abstract: The search for new ultraincompressible, superhard materials has been performed largely through trial and error. Despite the difficulties […]
“Nanostructured Nickel-Rich Cathode Materials for High-Capacity and Fast-Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries” ABSTRACT: Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries are desired for use in personal electronics and electric vehicles, potentially allowing systems to charge devices in […]
Harnessing Conformational Dynamics to Engineer New Enzymes Understanding how new enzyme functions evolve, either on existing scaffolds, or completely de novo on previously non-catalytic scaffolds, is of great interest both from […]
The NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis is delighted to announce that it will be hosting a monthly webinar series. The Fourth day of this series will be held on Tuesday, December […]
“Engineering qubits in silicon with atomic precision”
“Tuning the Reactivity Landscape of Metalloenzymes: From Active Site Modifications to Long-range Dynamic Effects” Abstract: Metalloenzymes rely on transition metals within the protein scaffold to perform a wide variety of molecular […]
Abstract: Nature uses a limited set of twenty amino acids to synthesize proteins. In recent years it has become possible to site-specifically incorporate designer amino acids with tailored chemical properties […]
