“Democratic Chemistry Analysis”: Using machine learning and robotics to identify chemical compositions from images
Microscopic images of potassium nitrate. Credit: Oliver Steinbock A chemist at Florida State University has created a machine learning tool that can identify the chemical composition of a dry salt solution from an image with 99% accuracy. By preparing thousands of samples and artificial intelligence using robotics to analyze the data, we created a simple and inexpensive tool that expands…

Mechanical chemistry: The new theory describes acceleration of reaction speed.
The mechanical force applied to the ball mill enhances the mixture of reactions by reducing the thickness of the rich phase. Credit: RSC Mechacen Chemistry (2024). Doi: 10.1039/D4MR00091a In contrast to the conventional organic synthesis, mechanical chemistry does not ultimately use a solvent that becomes industrial waste. Therefore, mechanical chemicals are environmentally friendly and can use organic synthesis using reactions…

Heavy dipnictogen chemistry: researchers create heterocycles with multiple antimony atoms
Credit: Journal of the American Chemical Society (2025). DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c15626 An international team of chemists has successfully created methylenedistibirane, a three-membered ring with two antimony atoms and one carbon atom. In a paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the group describes how they were able to create the rings using just a three-step process. Methylenedistibilane is…

Organosilicon chemistry offers an alternative to PFAS in the food and medical industry
Many medical products require hydrophobic coatings to prevent cell adhesion or to optimize sliding and frictional properties. Fraunhofer IFAM has developed a fluorine-free coating that mimics the properties of previously available fluoropolymers, as demonstrated by hydrophobic coatings on synthetic nonwovens. Credit: Fraunhofer IFAM Due to the unique properties of PFAS, few chemicals can compete with them. This is why it…

Chemistry ChatGPT for new drugs: Researchers train AI to predict potential active ingredients
Three-dimensional structures of two target proteins, histone deacetylase 6 (blue) and tyrosine protein kinase JAK2 (red), and selective inhibitors of each enzyme. The central dual inhibitor is active against both targets. Prediction of compounds with predefined dual target activities is the task of chemical language models. Credit: Sanjana Srinivasan & Jürgen Bajorath Researchers at the University of Bonn have trained…

Use synthetic chemistry to plan the route of drugs into the body
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) have developed a technique that allows the body to change the recognized identity of proteins. The innovation, published October 2 in Nature Communications, allows researchers to target tumors in mice with a protein and transport the protein out of the body. This means that cancer-killing drugs can…
