Chemicals pollution and climate change are two key pillars of global sustainability, and as chemists, we have the opportunity – and the responsibility – to answer that call. Polymers in liquid formulations (PLFs) are a key part of the puzzle. An estimated 36 million tonnes of PLFs are produced annually, mostly derived from fossil fuels. They are the group of chemicals that hardly anybody has heard of, but nearly everybody uses daily – from the shampoo you wash your hair with, to the paint you put on your walls. However, virtually no PLFs are recovered, reused or recycled after use – meaning they build up in our soil and waterways. We launched our 2040 roadmap for sustainable polymers in liquid formulations a year ago, and are today proudly hosting the first Sustainable PLFs Annual Summit today to drive forward system-wide change for our roadmap's Missions of circularity and biodegradability.

Fantastic to see coverage for this exciting Nanoscience #RSCNano research from The Institute of Nano Science and Technology(INST), Mohali in Times of India! Read more below and at https://rsc.li/4dTlvve
Effective cerebral tuberculosis treatment has been developed by Krishna Jadhav, Agrim Jhilta, Raghuraj singh, Eupa Ray, Ph.D, Vimal Kumar, Awadh Bihari Yadav, Amit Kumar Singh, Ph.D. and Dr. Rahul K. Verma through the use of nose-to-brain transport of anti-tuberculosis drugs using mucoadhesive nano-aggregates. In the work published in Nanoscale, the scientists are able to overcome the blood–brain barrier and reduce mycobacterial load by combining intranasal chitosan nano-aggregates with anti-tuberculosis drugs. Find out more in their article at https://lnkd.in/guCSmenP The work from The Institute of Nano Science and Technology(INST), Mohali has been featured in several news articles following the press release from the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India https://lnkd.in/gXNZCiJM This article forms part of the Nanoscale collection celebrating the 10th anniversary of INST Mohali - discover the full collection at https://lnkd.in/e8sPVCfE

📣 We have expanded this great Royal Society of Chemistry cross journal collection celebrating the 2024 chemistry #NobelPrize! 📣 Check out all the amazing RSC papers showcasing protein design and analysis using computational methods - they're free to access until the end of November too! Read them now at https://lnkd.in/gi3ZK8xa
In honour of the 2024 #NobelPrize for Chemistry we have curated a collection of impactful studies from across our RSC journals on computational protein design and protein structure prediction 🏆 This cross-journal collection celebrates the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry by bringing together research published on computational protein design and protein structure prediction. Nobel Laureates Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper have successfully used artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins, and Nobel Laureate David Baker has used this technology to design and create entirely new proteins. This collection highlights work on protein design and analysis using computational methods, providing applications in biocatalysis, drug design and more. Read all this exciting work online now! Free until the end of November 2024: https://lnkd.in/e9MPSSxc

On behalf of the Royal Society of Chemistry, we are saddened to learn of the death of a giant of the chemistry community in India – Professor Sukh Dev. His students and colleagues describe him as “an iconic scientist with an innate sixth sense who radicalized natural product synthesis and organic chemistry”. We recently celebrated Professor Sukh Dev's 100th birthday with a special collection in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry – a fitting tribute to his contribution in inspiring generations of chemical scientists, in India and around the globe. Read more about his influential, pioneering career from those who studied worked with him ⬇
