Catecholate ligands, derived from the deprotonation of catechol, have long been recognised for their robust chelating properties and redox activity. When coordinated to transition metal centres, these ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Metals such as iron and calcium play a crucial role inside the human body, so it's no surprise that bioengineers would like to integrate them into the soft, stretchy materials used to repair skin, ...

2-Hydroxybenzylalanine (HBA) and 2-hydroxybenzylaminomethylphosphonic acid (HBAMPA) are chelating ligands that have potential pharmaceutical applications. The ...

Researchers have developed a new framework that makes elastomer design a modular process, allowing for the mixing and matching of different metals with a single polymer. Metals such as iron and ...
