Kochhar, Nicholas J. Mosey     Mechanochemistry, i.e. the application of forces, F, at the molecular level, has attracted significant interest as a means of controlling chemical reactions. The present study …             Configurational space discretization and free energy calculation in complex molecular systems ▶     Kai Wang, Shiyang Long, Pu Tian     We sought to design a free energy calculation scheme with the hope of saving cost for generating dynamical information that is inherent in trajectories. We demonstrated that …             Fluid dynamic lateral slicing of high tensile strength carbon nanotubes ▶     Kasturi Vimalanathan, Jason R. Gascooke, Irene Suarez-Martinez et al.     Lateral slicing of micron length carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is effective on laser irradiation of the materials suspended within dynamic liquid thin films in a microfluidic vortex …             Metal-Diazo Radicals of α-Carbonyl Diazomethanes ▶     Feifei Li, Longqiang Xiao, Lijian Liu     Metal-diazo radicals of α-carbonyl diazomethanes are new members of the radical family and are precursors to metal-carbene radicals. Herein, using electron paramagnetic resonance …             In-situ preparation of functionalized molecular sieve material and a methodology to remove template ▶     Rekha Yadav, Maqsood Ahmed, Arvind Kumar Singh et al.     A series of diaminosilane-functionalized silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve (SAPO-37) was prepared by in-situ synthesis, and a novel method was developed for the selective …             PEGylated substrates of NSP4 protease: A tool to study protease specificity ▶     Magdalena Wysocka, Natalia Gruba, Renata Grzywa et al.     Herein we present the synthesis of a novel type of peptidomimetics composed of repeating diaminopropionic acid residues modified with structurally diverse heterobifunctional …             Hydrophobic and Metallophobic Surfaces: Highly Stable Non-wetting Inorganic Surfaces Based on Lanthanum Phosphate Nanorods ▶     Sasidharan Sankar, Balagopal N. Nair, Takehiro Suzuki et al.     Metal oxides, in general, are known to exhibit significant wettability towards water molecules because of the high feasibility of synergetic hydrogen-bonding interactions …             Direct Visualization of the Two-step Nucleation Model by Fluorescence Color Changes during Evaporative Crystallization from Solution ▶     Fuyuki Ito, Yukino Suzuki, Jun-ichi Fujimori et al.     The two-step nucleation model for crystal nuclei formation explains several experimental and theoretical results better than the classical nucleation theory. We report here …             Strain-induced water dissociation on supported ultrathin oxide films ▶     Zhenjun Song, Jing Fan, Hu Xu     Controlling the dissociation of single water molecule on an insulating surface plays a crucial role in many catalytic reactions. In this work, we have identified the enhanced …             Layered Double Hydroxide Nanoplatelets with Excellent Tribological Properties under High Contact Pressure as Water-Based Lubricant Additives ▶     Hongdong Wang, Yuhong Liu, Zhe Chen et al.     High efficient and sustainable utilization of water-based lubricant is essential for saving energy. In this paper, a kind of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplatelets is …             Photomodulation of fluoride ion binding through anion-π interactions using a photoswitchable azobenzene system ▶     Anushri Rananaware, Mousumi Samanta, Rajesh S. Bhosale et al.     The discovery of photoswitchable azobenzene-systems that undergo trans-to-cis photoisomerisation was a milestone in supramolecular chemistry. Such photoswitches have possible …               • Careers & Jobs         naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Research Associate     University of North Texas Health Science Center            Senior Research Associate – Research Programmer     University of East Anglia (UEA)            Postdoctoral Fellows     The University of Alabama            PhD and post-doc programs     Center for Integrative Biology            Postdoctoral Research Scientist     Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute in Glasgow            Three Postdoctoral fellow positions     University of Oslo            Research Position (PhD)     Universitatsklinikum Carl-Gustav-Carus            Faculty Position     Yale University            Associate Research Fellow     University of Exeter            Tenure Track Positions     University of Vienna (Universitaet Wien)          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
