Incorporating dragonfly-shaped gate molecules into PCP/MOFs makes it a hundred times more efficient than before to separate water from heavy water, which has been difficult to separate due to their similar properties.

Reading RNA modifications more precisely in a pocket-sized device

Scientists found two new ways to identify substitutions from uracil to pseudouridine, combining existing sequencing technology with different approaches. One is with algorithm-based calculation, and one is with a chemical probe CMC.
