Quasicrystals are aperiodically ordered structures with unconventional rotational symmetry. Their peculiar features have been explored in photonics to engineer bandgaps for light waves. Magnons (spin waves) are collective spin excitations in magnetically o ...

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a well-established method to obtain atomic-level information about the structure of inorganic materials, but its use is often limited by low sensitivity. We review how solvent generated dynamic nuclear polarization can be us ...

Dynamic nuclear polarization can be used to hyperpolarize the bulk of proton-free inorganic materials in magic angle spinning NMR experiments. The hyperpolarization is generated on the surface of the material with incipient wetness impregnation and from th ...

Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP) is a powerful technique that enhances the magnetic resonance signal of nuclear spins by several orders of magnitude. DNP relies on the principle of cross-relaxation by electron spins driven out of equilibrium ...

Unraveling the interplay between electronic- and vibrational degrees of freedom on the earliest time scales of physical, chemical and biological processes is crucial to gaining insight into the mechanisms that govern the world around us, since it is during ...

Lignocellulosic biomass is a sustainable source of renewable carbon, and it is the most abundant form of terrestrial biomass. The three main constituents of lignocellulosic biomass are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The monomers from these biopolyme ...

Treatment of potassium salts of silole dianions with donor stabilised germanium dichlorides gave the anticipated silagermafulvenylidenes R2Si = Ge(Do) (R2Si = 1-silacyclopentadiendiyl, Do = N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)) only as transient intermediates in a ...

Polymers when self-cross-linked into single-chain nanoparticles bear some resemblance to folded proteins; yet proteins have clear energy landscapes that determine precisely folded structures, while single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) have more undef ...

The hemocyanin protein binds and transports molecular oxygen via two copper atoms at its core. The singlet state of the Cu2O2 core is thought to be stabilised by a superexchange pathway, but detailed in situ computational analysis is complicated by the mul ...

Determining atomic-level characteristics of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces is one of the fundamental challenges in chemistry. High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) could deliver rich structural information, but its application to two-dime ...

The introduction of high-frequency, high-power microwave sources, tailored biradicals, and low-temperature magic angle spinning (MAS) probes has led to a rapid development of hyperpolarization strategies for solids and frozen solutions, leading to large ga ...

The first full protocol for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) crystallography (NMRX) using chemical shifts was developed a decade ago, and it combines experimental isotropic chemical shifts with crystal structure prediction (CSP) and with the calculation of ...

Delayed fluorescence (DF) is a long-lived luminescence process used in a variety of applications ranging from oxygen sensing in biological tissues to organic Light Emitting Diodes. In common cases, DF results from the deexcitation of the first excited trip ...
