  Forever chemicals" — technically known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — are remarkably useful things. They're also among the most dangerous pollutants on the planet , says investigative journalist Mariah Blake . The many carbon-fluorine bonds in these chemicals, consisting of an alkyl chain connected to multiple fluorine atoms, are considered the strongest in organic chemistry. This makes them remarkably resistant to heat, water, and chemical corrosion , giving them applications in everything from nonstick cookware to firefighting foam, medical devices and waterproof clothing. In fact, their first major application after their invention was in separating weapons-grade uranium isotopes from corrosive gas for the Manhattan Project , assisting in the creation of the first atomic bomb.

  The research team chose a different approach. They used an optical method known as chiral-selective vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy (chiral SFG), which allows for detailed probes of hydration in the original environment. Santiago and fellow researchers used both an experimental and computational approach. They used chiral SFG to probe changes in DNA hydration structures when a small-molecule drug— netropsin —binds the minor groove of DNA . Then they performed molecular dynamics simulations to model these interactions and structural changes. Based on the models, they simulated the chiral SFG spectra for direct comparison with experiments. Through this comparison, their molecular models proved to be valid. The study found that chiral SFG can detect water displacement from the minor groove of DNA upon netropsin binding. Additionally, chiral SFG can differentiate between weakly and strongly hydrogen-bonded water hydrating DNA. Furthermore, the researchers discovere...

To address this challenge, a research team led by Associate Professor Yasuhiro Yamada from the Graduate School of Engineering and Associate Professor Tomonori Ohba from the Graduate School of Science at Chiba University, Japan, developed a new type of carbon material called 'viciazites.' These materials are designed with nitrogen groups positioned next to each other in a controlled way. The study, published in the journal Carbon , was co-authored by Mr. Kota Kondo, also from Chiba University. Building Viciazites With Controlled Nitrogen Pairing The researchers created three different versions ofcompounds each with a unique type of neighboring nitrogen configuration. To produce adjacent primary amine groups (-NH2 groups), they first heated a compound called coronene, then treated it with bromine, followed by ammonia gas. This three-step method achieved 76% selectivity, meaning most of the nitrogen atoms were placed in the intended positions. Two additional materials were produce...
