Read the article Tuesday, 14 Aug 2018 Research story Apostolos (Lee) Alissandratos - CSIRO Future Science Fellowship in Synthetic Biology Advances in technology have made detection of pathogens through DNA testing more effective and accessible in the fight to control and eradicate some of the most devastating human and animal diseases. Yet, despite these advances, these tests still have significant limitations. Read the article Monday, 18 Jun 2018 Research story When electrochemical measurement artefacts are real The work has implications for the study of how static surface charges or externally applied electric fields can influence chemical bonding and reactivity, an area that is starting to attract enormous interest. Read the article Monday, 18 Jun 2018 Research story Electrical Mechanochemistry The observation that mechanical stretching can control the redox states and conductance of a single molecule provides a way to mechanically switch its electronic properties, with potential applications in electromechanical molecular machines. Read the article Monday, 18 Jun 2018 Research story Triggering bond cleavage with electric fields Electrochemical cleavage was shown to proceed for free alkoxyamines in solution, and for alkoxyamines tethered to a silicon electrode, the latter providing a strategy for in situ generation of surface-tethered nitroxides or surface-tethered carbocations.
