We and others have demonstrated the use of triaminotriazine (melamine) as a synthetic base-triple motif in a family of molecules we call bifacial peptide nucleic acid (bPNA). Bifacial PNA engages [...]
About the Seminar Atmospheric aerosols are incredibly complex chemical systems with thousands of species present in yoctoliter to attoliter volumes, which makes measuring their chemical and [...]
About the Seminar: Research in the Cossairt lab is focused on the solution-phase synthesis of chemical systems capable of sunlight absorption, color-pure emission, charge transfer, and fuels [...]
About the Seminar: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often considered too insensitive for molecular imaging of biological processes. Although many Gd3+-based contrast agents have been reported [...]
In this talk, I will present a selection of new synthetic strategies for assembling poly- and heteroaromatic systems. In the 1st part, I will discuss the advantages of alkynes as high-energy [...]
About the Seminar: Actinides in the +3 oxidation state occupy central roles in many areas that are important for our quality of life. These range from developing targeted alpha therapy in [...]
About the Seminar Organic solar cells (OSCs) are a potential cost-effective way to transform solar energy into electricity due to their potential for low-cost and high-throughput roll-to-roll [...]
About the Seminar The brain is a highly complex and dynamic chemical system. The primary mode of chemical communication between brain cells is called neurotransmission; it is well accepted that [...]
4th Year Research Seminar: Ambient particulate matter (PM) air pollution is associated with negative health effects, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and is estimated to cause [...]
